The Public Ministry has intensified concern about the Head of High Complexity North Center, Ximena Chong, who in the last hours has experienced two episodes that forced the Investigative Police (PDI) to install a fixed point on the outskirts of your home to provide protection.
The prosecutor had opposed security measures, despite the fact that during the formalization of the investigation of the carabinero Sebastián Zamora for attempted murder against the 16-year-old AA teenager, it was harassed on social media and her own family received intimidating messages on Instagram and other platforms.
Last night, before a fixed point of the PDI guarded your home, Two individuals on motorcycles roamed the street where prosecutor Chong and her family live, rattling the engine of their vehicles until they got out and knocked on the investigator’s door. His eldest son received them and the subjects, according to the complaint filed today by the Special Police Investigative Brigade (BIPE), without removing the helmets they were wearing, told him that they had a letter “for his mother.” The young man, then, asked them to leave it in the mailbox that is installed for such purposes and one of the strangers after leaving the letter asked the teenager: “Make sure the prosecutor reads it.” Then they withdrew from the scene.
Connoisseurs of the investigation supported Third that in the letter there is an image of the researcher and the sender claims to be part of a group of citizens “concerned about their threat to the future of Chile, their permanent political activism, partiality and attack on our Carabineros de Chile and the values that sustain our Republic”. Likewise, the letter reads that “corrupt” such as the investigator “have no place in our nation” and that they will take “the necessary measures, whatever they may be, to defend our country.” Finally, it reads: “If you consider that this letter constitutes a serious threat to your psychological and physical integrity, then you are correct”, inviting you to “correct your actions as soon as possible.”
The situation triggered the chief prosecutor Francisco Jacir to order the first steps to find the motorists who went to the house of the persecutor to specify the threat against an authority. Along with this, PDI staff posted overnight around Chong’s home.
However, today at 8:00 AM there was a second episode that is investigated by the Public Ministry. A subject, also on a motorcycle, walked around the investigator’s house twice and then stopped in front of her door. It was then that the police decided to carry out an identity check, a situation that the individual objected to on more than one occasion. However, once she delivered her identity card and upon entering the RUT into the system, the police officers -according to those who know of the investigation- they realized that it was a lieutenant colonel of the Carabineros. Although last night’s episode and this morning’s episode cannot be linked yet, both events are being investigated by the Public Ministry today.
Prosecutor Jacir confirmed Third the inquest. “Indeed, as a result of the threats that the prosecutor Chong received through social networks during the formalization of the investigation of a police officer in the case of the Pío Nono Bridge, it was ex officio to initiate an investigation for threats to the authority and is working with two PDI units to clarify these facts and the two situations that have occurred in the last hours and that led to new proceedings to find out who is behind these events“Said the chief prosecutor of the Central North zone.
In the framework of this investigation the National prosecutor Jorge Abbott expressed his concern to the government authorities, especially about the episode involving a uniformed.
