Juan Carlos Manriquezdefense attorney for Daniel Jadue, He appreciated the resolution of the 3rd Guarantee Court of Santiago which revoked the preventive detention for the former mayor of Recoleta after 91 days and replaced the precautionary measure with house arrest.
“The important thing today is that the court was able to see with the new information that came to the case, that there was no possibility that Jadue was involved in an alleged scam, that the deception does not correspond to him, under any point, that the latest accommodating statements that were attempted to be used against him cannot be validated, that whoever claims to be scammed never was.”Manriquez assured after the arguments, awaiting the transfer of his client to his home.
Manríquez said that this decision allows them to continue moving forward until the trial.

Jadue was charged by the North Central Prosecutor’s Office as the perpetrator of the completed crimes of disloyal administration, fraud, repeated tax fraud and a bankruptcy crime. Since June 3, he had been serving preventive detention in Capitán Yáber.
“What has become clear is that There is no way to truly sustain, with this new background that we presented for almost three hours, that Jadue has indeed committed crimes.“That’s what matters to us here,” said the defender.
The lawyer interpreted the revocation as a sign of his client’s innocence.
“The ones who should speak in the proceedings are neither the prosecutors nor the lawyers. That has no value. What matters is what the evidence says. And today the evidence has spoken and Jadue is innocent. It is that clear,” he assured.
