Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and his family stashed at least $15 million in more than 125 hidden accounts at Citigroup, Riggs and other banks over 25 years, a U.S. Senate report says.

Citigroup said Pinochet opened the accounts with false documentation and pseudonyms. They were closed nearly a decade ago, it said.
