The deputy RN Andrés Celis Montt officiated at the Undersecretary for Crime Prevention, Katherine Martorell, a member of the same party, requesting a series of information regarding two public tenders in the division headed by the lawyer.
“The seriousness of the events that have been made known and in the case of the public interest involved in the disputed purchases, whose bidding processes have been led by Katherine Martorell, lead to the conclusion that the contracts could be revoked, invalidated or terminated, so it is interesting to know the position of the head of the organism and if these actions will be carried out ”, said the parliamentarian.
One of them is related to a contest for more than 14 billion pesos for a televigilance system with a thousand cameras nationwide. The work was entrusted to the Ingesmart company, which proposed the installation of devices that were questioned and sanctioned in the United States for danger of vulnerability and alleged espionage by the Chinese government.
As reported Interference, the Hikvisión brand cameras, of Chinese origin, offered by the awarded company, were removed from strategic places and public places such as hospitals and governorates, precisely because of their strategic security problems.
The second question corresponds to the tender carried out in March this year for the award of Carabineros body cameras that Motorola won, for more than 378 million pesos.
In this case, the deputy recalled that the Undersecretariat has had to give an account in a complaint filed for possible crimes of administrative prevarication, fraud to the treasury and forgery of public instrument, and procedures such as the delivery of Martorell’s cell phone have been decreed two weeks ago .
“Both cases add reproaches to the management of Katherine Martorell in the Undersecretary of Crime Prevention, which is illogical in the case of an agency that precisely must prevent the commission of the same. Due to the above, in my auditing work and to clear up doubts, I decided to officiate at Undersecretary Martorell and ask for all the information that would allow clarifying whether they acted in accordance with the law and the actions they intend to adopt, “he said.
