He September 15, the minister of jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals of Santiago, Juan Cristóbal Mera, issued the first civil judgment against former president Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, in an executive judgment brought against him by a Lawsuit filed by Banco de Chile in the framework of an unpaid debt for $ 50 million.
“The claim deducted in these antecedents is accepted, with costs, and the execution against Inversiones Saturno SA and Mr. Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle must continue until the creditor of his credit is paid in full, plus interest and costs, after surrender by Banco de Chile of a surety amounting to $ 5,000,000, by means of deposit in the current account of this Court of said sum or through the constitution of a surety in the terms of article 2350 of the Civil Code ”, the ruling reads.
This lawsuit, which is in addition to at least 13 other similar civil actions, It is part of the case that began last year in the North Central Prosecutor’s Office. It was the brother of the former president, Francisco Frei Ruiz-Tagle, who reported himself to the Public Ministry in August 2019. In his presentation to the prosecution, he reported a series of actions that would have affected his brother’s assets. Francisco Frei Ruiz-Tagle would have forged the signature and fingerprint of former President Frei to sign a series of financial commitments with banks and factoring companies to maintain the economic and financial operation of the company Almadena SA
For that, maliciously used the signature of his brother with the intention that the financial movements were in the name of the company Inversiones Saturno SA, a signature owned by his brother and through which a large part of the ex-president’s estate is maintained. Everything was done behind the back of the board and the owners of Inversiones Saturno SA The scope of this plot is being investigated by the prosecutor Francisco Jacir.
Despite this ruling, Mera’s ruling is not the first in the accumulation of civil cases that the case accumulates. Previously, there are four other unfavorable judgments against Saturno SA, but all in executive trials.
From the civil representation of former President Frei, they assure that these sentences are only of the first instance. This, they assure, is relevant because the merits of the matter have not been analyzed, that is, all the financial obligations originated by signatures that are false. Therefore, In each case, the respective exceptions reservations have been made, in order to prove the merits of the matter, that is, the adulteration of the signatures in subsequent ordinary trials.. In that instance, they hope to present calligraphic skills and other evidence to support this position.
“This is only a sentence of an executive judgment, the minister of jurisdiction did not enter the fund. What we did was present a reservation of exceptions to transfer the discussion to a later ordinary trial. There we will present the evidence to show that the signatures are false”, He assures the lawyer Karen Muñoz, who represents the former president in civil lawsuits.
Muñoz adds that will appeal this sentence before the Court of Appeals of Santiago andLater, motivated by the evidence that arises in the criminal case, they will dedicate themselves to objecting to these unpaid financial obligations, by proving that the origin of them was fraudulent.
