“The Minsal will collaborate with justice,” said the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, during the delivery of the COVID-19 report, when asked about the disposition of the portfolio to deliver the information required in the framework of the investigation for deaths from coronavirus.

The investigation was opened from the complaint filed by the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue, and points to President Sebastián Piñera, former Minister of Health Jaime Mañalich, and the current undersecretaries Paula Daza and Arturo Zúñiga, for the crimes of denial of assistance and near misdemeanor of homicides by the victims of the pandemic in the commune.

Just a couple of hours from the Paris declaration, Radio Bío Bío reported that the North Central Prosecutor’s Office decided to request the Supreme Court to order the head of Health to deliver the required information, and thus settle the controversy.

The Public Ministry chose this path after, in the first instance, Minister Paris opposed the diligence when staff from the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the PDI – despite having a court order – tried unsuccessfully to raid the premises and extract the e -mails from the health authorities. The Minsal invoked as an argument the special reservation of said communications, reported at the time Third, while from the defense of the defendants they maintained that said information is sensitive, because it has to do with the purchase of fans.

A similar diligence was required by Senator Alejandro Navarro (PRO), who asked the Prosecutor Armendariz to request the authorization of the Supreme Court to seize the emails of former Minister Mañalich, his former chief of staff, and Undersecretary Daza, in the context of the Complaint for the deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the Biobío Region that the parliamentarian presented last June.

“We hope that Minister Paris does not fall into illegalities. You must deliver the information from the emails. Otherwise, he will become the subject of accusation for denying information to justice ”, warned the parliamentarian.

Specifically, the court ruled that the clinical records of a total of 25 victims, the Central Post, the Worker’s Hospital (ACHS), the San Juan de Dios Hospital, the San José Hospital, the JJ Clinical Hospital, must be sent to the prosecutor.
