Faced with difficulties in entering the community of Temucuicui, Carabineros asked the Lautaro Prosecutor’s Office to evaluate changing the total house arrest in force once morest the werkén Mijael Carvones, accused of wood theft. This is due to the “dangerousness” that he has for the troops to monitor compliance with the precautionary measure.
Arguing “dangerousness” to enter the Temucuicui community and verify compliance with total house arrestErcilla Police requested the Prosecutor’s Office request to modify the precautionary measure that governs once morest the werkén Mijael Carvones Quiepul, investigated for wood theft.
This is a confidential document carabinierito which Radio Bío Bío had access, addressed to the Lautaro Local Prosecutor’s Office, where they expose a series of arguments regarding the risk that it implies for the troops to enter said community and verify that the accused is complying with house arrest.
The letter signed by the captain of the Lautaro sub-commission station, Pablo Aguayo, is from January 13, that is, two days following the uniformed police managed to interview Carvones.
They detail that on January 11, personnel from said unit, accompanied by the staff of the Second Police Station for Public Order Control of Pailahueque they tried to enter the community through route 5-558, however, it was not possiblesince the wooden bridges built in the sector are disabled for vehicular traffic.
Then they moved to Route 5-50, from Traiguén, where they managed to meet with the accused, confirming that he was at his home. However, when they returned, the route was blocked by unknown persons who felled a tree, which had to be removed with police vehicles.
They report dangerousness and recall episodes of Izkia Siches and the crime of a PDI official
For this reason, they propose thatSupervising compliance with the precautionary measure of total house arrest is affected by the dangerousness of the sector in which the address set by the accused is located.since it is a public and notorious fact that in the sector of the Temucuicui community and others that surround it, there have been serious acts of violence.”
As an example, they recall acts of violence registered in the community, such as the murder of the PDI sub-inspector, Luis Morales, in addition to the failed visit of the former Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, who was shot at.
With these arguments, they suggest that the evaluation “a modification of the precautionary measure, or another way to monitor the effective compliance of the precautionary measure decreed once morest the accusedall with the purpose of duly safeguarding the safety and protection of Carabineros personnel.”
Reactions to the request of the Carabineros
Asked regarding this situation, the presidential delegate in La Araucanía, José Montalva, said that In the event of any affectation to police personnel, the law will be applied.
The former mayor and current deputy of Amarillos, Andrés Jouannet described the situation as embarrassing, since “The police officers themselves recognize that there are sectors of the country where you cannot enter.”
From Carabineros they did not want to refer to the issue, since it is an ongoing judicial process.
