The Biobío Regional Prosecutor’s Office confirmed this Friday its decision not to persevere in the Asipes case, which had the senator Jacqueline van Rysselberghe, current president of the UDI, as accused of possible crimes of bribery and fraud to the Treasury.
Through a statement, the Public Ministry indicated that “in the investigation for the so-called Asipes case, during this day the Bío Bío Prosecutor’s Office entered the Fourth Guarantee Court of Santiago the request to schedule a hearing of dismissal and decision not to persevere in the aforementioned case“.
“The legal arguments for this determination will be presented in the judicial instance, on the date and time that the court will soon schedule,” the note adds.
The senator had to testify before the Prosecutor’s Office, as a defendant, for a series of emails that he exchanged in 2014 with the former president of Asipes Luis Felipe Moncada, where the senator’s votes are shown in relation to legislation on fisheries issues.
At that time -March 29, 2019-, He denied having received orders from the union leader when he presided over the Upper House Fisheries Commission.
She assured the Public Ministry that she herself appealed to Moncada, given her “intellectual trust” in him.
Consulted by the specific instructions that Moncada transmitted to him regarding the bill so that the capture by “hand line” of horse mackerel for the artisanal sector remains within the global quota, denied that these had the character of orders, beyond being read in an imperative tone.
“Regarding the way of asking for things, Luis Felipe, as I have known him for years, is the way he communicates; it is like that, but it does not mean that it is giving, but it is his way of speaking in everything … I represented him when I did not agree with him, “said the parliamentarian.
