Rozas declares for more than 3 hours as accused before the Prosecutor’s Office for cases of human rights violations | National

This Monday and for more than three hours declared as accused before the prosecutor Claudia Perivancich Mario Rozas, the former General Director of the Carabineros who faces 36 complaints for crimes against humanity and Human Rights violations after the social uprising on Friday, October 18, 2019.

After 7:10 p.m., the former uniformed man left the Valparaíso Prosecutor’s Office aboard a car, sitting in the back, not giving statements to the press stationed in the place.

Within minutes his defender, Gabriel Zaliasnik, left the enclosure, a well-known lawyer in the political world who has defended figures such as former ministers Jaime Mañalich and Víctor Pérez.

On Thursday, November 19, Rozas arrived at La Moneda to communicate his resignation to President Sebastián Piñera. This after the scandal that caused the shooting of children from a home dependent on the Sename in Talcahuano by two police officers.

Specifically, the complaints against Rozas aim to establish the level of knowledge of police actions that the high command had and whether or not there were actions to exonerate the perpetrators of responsibility.

The last legal action against him was presented in October after the formalization of the police officer Sebastián Zamora, accused of pushing a teenager into the Mapocho River from the Pío Nono Bridge.

That complaint against Rozas invoked the crime of attempted murder, but as an accomplice or cover-up.

In this judicial process there are also Piñera involved with Andrés Chadwick and Gonzalo Blumel, both former Interior Ministers.
