Through a brief presented to the Supreme Court, the defense of former Minister Jaime Mañalich, investigated for alleged irregularities in the handling of the pandemic, requested that the Prosecutor’s Office summon the former Minsal authority to testify.
The lawyer Gabriel Zaliaznik, considering that the highest court must decide regarding the seizure of emails requested by the Public Ministry, presented background information that shows the collaboration that his client wants to provide in the case.
The details of Mañalich’s petition
“That I have come to request SSE to have the following documents attached, which account for the request made to the Public Ministry, in order for my client to be summoned to give a statement in the investigation in which these cars affect, opportunity in the one that the Public Ministry will be able to request necessary and pertinent antecedents for the investigation of determined facts, maintains the writing.
And it is that as has been made public, the defense of Mañalich, like that of President Sebastián Piñera and the current Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, are opposed to the Prosecutor’s Office accessing all emails from the February authorities to the date. Instead, they propose that a specific request for information be made.
For the rest, Zaliaznik’s presentation states that “the previous request is made in consideration of the fact that, to date, Mr. Jaime Mañalich has not been summoned to give a statement, nor has he been required to provide any relevant information for the clarification of the facts investigated, determine their participation, or prove their innocence, as provided in Article 1 of Law No. 19,640 “.
