Chile officials take over colony

The Chilean authorities have taken control of a secretive religious
commune that has been accused of aiding the former military dictatorship.

Officials entered Colonia Dignidad in to take over its assets as part
of an investigation into its former leaders.

Former Nazi Paul Schaefer, 83, is accused of aiding secret police
under Chile's 1973-1990 military rule and sexually abusing 26
children.

Mr Schaefer was arrested in March after eight years on the run.

Colonia Dignidad's leaders were also suspected of keeping its 300
residents against their will.
