Three former officials of the Investigative Police (PDI) remained in preventive detention who were arrested and taken to a detention control hearing after they were accused of having kept part of a loot recovered after an assault on a Banco Bice headquarters, in Las Condes.
According to information from Third, the chief prosecutor of Pudahuel, Eduardo Baeza, formalized them for embezzlement of private funds, falsification of a police report and obstruction of the investigation.
The persecutor accused these three former officials – whose identities are kept for being a reserved cause – of stealing part of the 20 million they seized after arresting the perpetrator of the assault.
Those involved in the incident are two inspectors and a deputy commissioner, who would have subtracted 10 million that they distributed in equal parts. In addition to that, they would have adulterated the report by pointing out that 10 million had been seized, when in fact there were 20.
In this sense, the prosecutor Baeza pointed out that “they seriously hampered the clarification of the fact.”
One of the former PDIs involved confessed to the crime before the prosecution, accusing the other two subjects.
Taking into account all these antecedents, the Public Ministry requested preventive detention, a measure to which the lawyers and representatives of the State Defense Council (CDE) and Banco Bice adhered. However, the defense of the accused proposed the measures of night imprisonment and national roots.
Given this, Judge Benavides Silva, from the First Guarantee Court of Santiago, ordered preventive detention, but dismissed the charge of obstruction of the investigation. Former officials risk a minimum of 10 years and a day in jail.
