“I agree that there was, and obviously we have to wait for the ruling of the courts, but I agree,” said the former undersecretary, adding that “there was also in previous (governments)”. When asked about which cases she was referring to, she did not specify which one.
Let us remember that the Prosecutor’s Office summoned the general director of Carabineros to testify, Richard Yanezas accused of possible crimes against human rights committed by the institution during the social outbreak.
The diligence is part of the investigation for alleged crimes against humanity, although it is linked to a case initiated in 2021 that seeks to establish command responsibilities for alleged “crimes of omission” in illegitimate pressures that occurred during the social revolt.
