 The judicial branch continued to operate under the Junta, and nominally had jurisdiction over its repressive activities, but rarely interfered.The new junta was made up of General Gustavo Leigh representing the Air Force, General Augusto Pinochet representing the Army, Admiral José Toribio Merino representing the Navy, and General César Mendoza representing the Carabineros (uniformed Gendarmerie).Once the Junta was in power, General Pinochet soon consolidated his control.
