“We are always ready to collaborate with Justice and We will collaborate with everything that is requested, but not in this trawling thesis, but with specific information that really contributes to the investigated facts ”.
This was the answer that the Minister Government Spokesperson, Jaime Bellolio, when consulted for the response that the defenses of the President, Sebastián Piñera (Samuel Donoso) and the former Minister of Health, Jaime Mañalich (Gabriel Zaliasnik) sent to the Supreme Court yesterday, in which they endorsed the decision of the current head of the Minsal, Enrique Paris, to refuse the request for delivery of e-mail to the Prosecutor’s Office.
Precisely The Highest Court asked the current Secretary of State for explanations regarding the denial of the request made by the Public Ministry regarding the communications of Mañalich, his former chief of staff and Daza, in the framework of an investigation for alleged reckless dissemination of germs pathogens in the midst of the pandemic.
In the opinion of the attorneys for the President and the former minister, intrusive diligence requested by the Prosecutor’s Office is “Unusual, unfounded and hasty” and that, as they argued, “The judicial authorization suffered from serious defects and lacked any legal basis.”
In this regard, Bellolio pointed out that “I would like to clarify what it means that the Ministry of Health has refused to access the computers completely, in no case does this mean an attempt to hide something. It is exactly the opposite, What the Minsal has done in the past is to say that it was the Comptroller itself that could do an investigation of what was happening inside and what happened with the data of each one. Therefore, all the data has always been available. ”
“What happens, unfortunately, is that The information requirements must be specific, what cannot happen is that there is an attempt to carry out a kind of trawling, where particularly the Minsal has obligations to safeguard information that is sensitive, given the law of rights and duties of patients ”, added the Minister Spokesperson.
In this sense, Bellolio insisted that “What the Minsal says is that it is willing to provide the specific information that is requested, but this idea of trawling, which goes beyond the rights and duties, for example, in the law of the patients themselves, the something that cannot happen ”.
