The North Central Metropolitan Prosecutor, Xavier Armendariz, asked the Supreme Court reject the proposal made by the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, who early requested to suspend the authorization formula dispatched by the Seventh Guarantee Court to proceed with the seizure of the emails from his wallet, within the framework of the investigation into the deaths of Covid-19.
In an eight-page brief presented to the Criminal Chamber of the highest court, Paris requested an order not to innovate and accused that Judge Patricio Álvarez’s decision “has been issued in open contravention” with the ruling of the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court.
The Minister of Health maintained that it is the duty of the Prosecutor’s Office “to identify the criminal acts reported, for example through search terms or descriptors, and thus comply with the requirement imposed by SSE, to make it possible to link such events with the emails that it intends to seize “.
A few hours later, the prosecutor Armendariz refuted the position of Paris and asked to reject the request, considering it “just useless”.
In the document quoted by the newspaper Third, the persecutor indicated that the Minsal discussed “the scope of what must, ultimately, be seized to be incorporated into the investigative folder “. “However, the procedure itself established by the 7th Guarantee Court has not been questioned”added.
“The only reference in the Minsal’s presentation is in order to search for descriptors within the seized emails to detect which ones should be excluded,” the prosecutor said.
“This suggestion, besides being impossible to fulfill (what would be such descriptors?), Is simply useless since it is evident that it is the owner of the post office, the Ministry of Health, who must propose who should be excluded and that is contemplated in the contested resolution a mechanism to settle eventual disputes that may arise from it, “he added.
Armendáriz maintained that this was what Judge Álvarez ordered and that “in the core it has not been controversial,” since “It has a mechanism to resolve what seems to be the Minsal’s concern, that is, the determination of the emails to be excluded.”
The investigation, carried out by the North Central Metropolitan Prosecutor, seeks to access the emails of the former Minister of Health, Jaime Mañalich and the Undersecretary of Public Health, Paula Daza, in addition to the former Minsal chief of staff, Itziar Linazasoro.
The Government had rejected the delivery of these talks, alluding to the fact that they were sensitive matters that could influence the security of the nation.
This investigation was originated by complaints presented by the senator Alejandro Navarro (Progressive Country) and by the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue (PC), who questioned the Executive’s lack of reaction to the advance of the pandemic.
