An investigation into allegations of illegal enrichment by the late Gen. Augusto Pinochet has ended with no charges filed against the dictator's family.

Chilean Judge Manuel Antonio Valderrama ended the nine-year probe Monday, though the decision can be appealed.

A U.S Senate committee investigating money laundering led to allegations that Pinochet controlled numerous secret accounts in U.S. banks. Other accounts were later discovered in Europe and the Caribbean.

Pinochet ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990. He died under house arrest, without ever being tried on charges of illegal enrichment and human rights violations.
