I am reading about Colonia Dignidad, a nazi colony by German emigrants in Chile post WWII. They helped Pinochet, tortured political dissidents and engaged in pedophilia. It was not until 2005, the leader, Paul Schäfer was arrested. The colony still exists today.
They have rebranded as “Villa Bavaria” but it’s still very much their own colony. https://www.messynessychic.com/2016/02/18/the-reformed-nazi-cult-trying-to-open-its-colony-to-tourism/
