Upon finding out about the Carabineros, they initiated the corresponding administrative process since, according to a statement, in principle the uniformed man “omitted” that antecedent, which constitutes a “serious administrative offense”.
“There are instructions that regulate the use of personal cameras in police procedures; and the Failure to comply with this principle is unacceptable and is grounds for expulsion from the institution“, explained the institution.
From the Department of Social Communications they specified that the expulsion process is for “hide information and lie” As the policeman was consulted about audiovisual records that he possessed and did not report to the institution, and that also would have been used by the Public Ministry in the hearing on Sunday.
Currently, Zamora is separated from his duties, a decision adopted by the Carabineros once the criminal proceedings against him began.
