The Second Room of the Supreme Court declared the appeal of the Minister of Health inadmissible, Enrique Paris, to challenge the mechanism with which he had to deliver the emails of the Ministry of Health. This in the framework of the investigations carried out by the North Central Prosecutor’s Office for possible responsibilities of authorities in the deaths of covid-19.
Therefore, the highest court gave green light to the procedure ordered by the Seventh Guarantee Court of Santiago.
Specifically, the delivery mechanism set by the justice consists of two copies of emails: a copy A withheld, with all emails under chain of custody and without access; and a copy B where Minister Paris must distinguish which communications the Prosecutor’s Office can access.
However, Paris claimed that it was the Prosecutor’s Office that I had to explain what I was looking for and that he could not pass all the emails, because the Supreme Court had already determined that the emails to be delivered could not talk about issues of national security or the purchase of medical supplies.
The minister asked the highest court to suspend the authorization of access to post office, arguing that “it is the duty of the Prosecutor’s Office to identify the criminal acts reported, for example, through search terms or descriptors, and thus comply with the requirement imposed by SSE, to make it possible to link such events with the emails that it intends to seize ”.
But, this was rejected by the Supreme, giving validity to the mechanism of two copies. In this way, the Ministry of Health must deliver the emails of former minister Jaime Mañalich; his former chief of staff, Itziar Linazasoro; and the undersecretary Paula Daza. In total, there would be about 30 thousand communications.
All this is part of the lawsuits filed against the president Sebastian Piñera, Mañalich; and the undersecretaries Daza and Arturo Zúñiga, for their possible responsibility in the deaths from covid-19.
