The Prosecutor’s Office announced the creation of a special group to begin the investigation into possible irregularities in the grace pensions granted to victims of human rights violations during the social outbreak.

The western metropolitan regional prosecutor, Marcos Pastén, said that “we have held meetings with the teams of the National Prosecutor’s Office, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Unit. “I have decided to appoint two support prosecutors for this investigation, specializing in official crimes and corruption, and in economic crimes indistinctly, from the Local Prosecutor’s Office of Maipú and Pudahuel.”

“In addition, I have asked the Investigative Police to form a team from the Metropolitan Anti-Corruption Brigade for the investigation and to carry out certain procedures,” he added.

After a review of the cases, the Executive announced that at least 25 of these benefits will be revoked, after it was verified that some of those involved had a record of serious crimes and that no medical reports were presented when granting the pensions.

The national prosecutor Ángel Valencia had pointed out that the crimes of subsidy fraud and prevarication could eventually be investigated.
