During this Monday, a request made by the lawyers representing President Sebastián Piñera —as well as the former Minister of Health, Jaime Mañalich; the Undersecretary of Health, Paula Daza; and the Undersecretary of Assistance Networks, Arturo Zúñiga— the national prosecutor, Jorge Abbott, where They ask that the persecutor who investigates them be changed for an alleged negligent and serious act in the current context of pandemic and health crisis.
Let us remember that the prosecutor of the Central North High Complexity Prosecutor’s Office, Marcelo Carrasco, was chosen by the Public Ministry – three months ago – to carry out the investigations after a complaint declared admissible that was presented by the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue ( PC), due to the death of 62 residents of said commune in the middle of the pandemic.
On the libel presented by Jadue, The latter accuses the four authorities of the quasi-crime of homicide and denial of assistance.
In relation to the case, this Monday it was announced that lawyers Eduardo Riquelme, Gabriel Zaliasnik and Samuel Donoso sent a letter to the national prosecutor, Jorge Abbott, a text where they accuse that in a hearing held on July 23 – on the 6th Santiago Guarantee Court – Prosecutor Carrasco together with his assistant lawyer made opinions that, according to what they indicate, would violate the principle of objectivity by which a prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office is governed.
“What shows the partial and interested position of the prosecutor in charge in order to tend to the procedural intervention in the investigation of Mr. Jadue and other militants of the Communist Party, is that he pointed out without shame that ‘we are objective, what we cannot do your honor is simply (to be) neutral in a case like this “”mentions the letter.
They also state: “Mr. National Prosecutor, the seriousness of that statement alone warrants access to this request. It is making a dead letter of the principle of objectivity knowing the null or little control that exists in our legal system to this type of infractions ”.
“Frankly at this true masked ball, Everything seems to indicate that the Public Ministry is Mr. Jadue’s assistant and not Mr. Jadue’s assistant to the Public Ministry “they argue.
The aforementioned mayor Jadue also referred to this, who pointed out through his social networks that “It is unpresentable that the accused intend to choose prosecutors in their own way, ignoring the separation of powers”.
