A former Nazi who founded a secretive German colony in South America where opponents of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship were tortured has been arrested after more than a decade on the run.
Detectives in Argentina captured Paul Schafer, an 84-year-old German, on Thursday on the outskirts of the capital, Buenos Aires. Schafer has been wanted in Chile in connection with child abuse charges since 1996, when he disappeared. Last year a Chilean court convicted him in his absence of child abuse, together with 26 other cult members.
Schafer's cult compound, Colonia Dignidad (Colony of Righteousness), has been extensively investigated by author Peter Levenda. An article on Levenda can be found here. Levenda is the author of Unholy Alliance: History of the Nazi Involvement With the Occult and the forthcoming Sinister Forces-The Nine : A Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft
