Ossandón could face influence peddling charges

Manuel Jose Ossandón could face another edge in the investigation against him, since new antecedents began to come to light, for the crime of tax fraud.

La Tercera today reports that, after being formalized by influence peddling, there are now documents that show that, between 2017 and 2019, the parliamentarian and his secretary, Maria Paz Rey Suau, made electronic transfers that had not previously been declared in the investigation.

So far King had ensured that there were no transfers between her and the senator.

Ossandón deposited about $ 11 million, divided into 95 transfers, to his secretary, while the latter transferred back to the former mayor about $ 42 million; a difference of more than $ 30 million. All in the same period (2017-2019).

Due to these facts, it is expected that the Public Ministry will summon King to testify as a defendant during the next few days.
