The Chilean Association of Prosecutors demanded in Cooperative “more firmness” to the Government in the face of threats suffered by the prosecutor Ximena Chong, who is leading the investigation into the incident in which a 16-year-old teenager was pushed into the Mapocho River by a Carabineros official.
The persecutor today you have POI protection in your home, up to where on Tuesday night two subjects came to leave her a letter by means of which they threaten her psychological and physical integrity, because – the letter says – “corrupt” officials like her “have no place in our nation”, therefore that, they warn, will take the “necessary measures, whatever they may be, to defend our country.”
Even on Wednesday morning, when PDI personnel had already settled in the place, a man on a motorcycle made several laps around Chong’s house, who after being controlled revealed to be a lieutenant colonel of the Carabineros, identified as Freddy vergara. Both facts, which are being investigated, cannot be linked at the moment.
“The protection mechanisms will never be perfect, we are absolutely clear on that. I understand that measures have been taken to protect her and her family environment, but outside of that we also hope that all the situations that he has had to live will be investigated, “he said in conversation with The Cooperative Diary the president of the Association of Prosecutors, Claudio uribe.
The union leader said that as an organization they are “quite concerned”: “We believe that This threat situation cannot be normalized, we cannot see it as part of the problem. These are serious, delicate situations, and precisely what we believe that you have to do is act firmly to prevent these situations from recurring and continuing to escalate. We don’t want to have prosecutors murdered tomorrow. “
“She’s going through this just for the sake of making her hit“Uribe stressed.
“It is difficult for me to see the support of the Government in this matter. I want to remember that the one in charge of maintaining public order and trying to prevent these situations from happening is the Government, it is the political authority, and I would like to see more firmness in the rejection of all the situations that prosecutor Chong has experienced“he added.
“Now is the time to act to stop this from escalating”, he sentenced.
REJECTION OF SAYS FROM MOREIRA
At the same time, the president of the Association of Prosecutors lashed out at the UDI senator Ivan Moreira for lowering the profile of the threats received by prosecutor Chong.
Consulted yesterday by 24 hoursMoreira considered “very normal” the situations that the persecutor has experienced: “When you provoke politically you expose yourself to this permanent type of threats”, minimized the senator of the Republic.
“Maybe Senator Moreira is moving in a world where they threaten each other, follow up, go and leave threats at houses and that kind of situation is absolutely normal, but we are professionals who are making our mistake. In that sense, what he is saying has no support, it does not contribute anything, it is silly “Uribe replied in Cooperative.
Moreira has been a recurring critic against the Prosecutor’s Office, which years ago led a criminal investigation that charged him with facilitating ideologically false ballots to the Penta group, which the senator used to hide illegal contributions of 35 million pesos to his 2013 senatorial campaign , in the noisy case remembered by the “scraping of the pot”. In the case, the UDI avoided going to an oral trial, in January 2018 it agreed to a conditional suspension of the procedure and in February 2019 it was definitively dismissed by the Justice.
