translated from Spanish: The special week policy by Frei case: lawyer Ugás warns that “there is an attempt to standardize as burdensome as an assassination behavior”

In a special edition of the week policy, the executive director of El Mostrador, Federico Joannon, and editor Marcela Jimenez, talked with unod and lawyers Carmen Frei, Francisco Ugás, about the first assassination of the Republican history of Chile, that of the former President Eduardo Frei Montalva.
“There was an assassination, Montalva President was murdered,” he said solemnly at the beginning of the program Joannon, who then consulted with the lawyer about the most important elements that should be highlighted the failure of the judge Alejandro Madrid. “This crime claimed to be perfect and they used very subtle methods to carry out this criminal plan. Another important element was the complaint presented by Doña Irene Frei and later Doña Carmen Frei, allowing justice to initiate the investigation of the case involving the killing of Frei,”explained the professional.
And he added: “Carmen Frei made a speech when he was Senator, pointing out what were the doubts about the death of his father. Doubts that, indeed, emerged from the first moment”.
Then, the lawyer stressed another important aspect: “Hernán Elgueta, friend of the Frei family, had received in his home calls, when Frei was hospitalized, and told that he was being poisoned. That aspect is set in the process and in the sentence”.
“Another important element is that, during all the time that lasted the process, was reaching the conviction that there was effectively a criminal fact”, he added.
In that sense, Joannon referred to a key point in the judgment of the Minister Madrid: “murder, if he is qualified or not, anyway, the Court came to the conclusion legal that was killed. I tell you because they have appeared many background, saying that he is not qualified, as if that meant it was not murder”, he said, by rebutting the criticisms that have been launched to the judgment.
Subsequently, the editor of El Mostrador conducted a question to the guest: “Do you think that there is an attempt to undermine the conclusions of the decision of the Madrid judge, normalize the assassination of a former President of the Republic?”.
And the lawyer replied: “of the opinions that I’ve seen, I desprendo both elements. There is an attempt of some people to weaken the ruling. I note a lack of knowledge of the process, that has reflected the judgment. Here there has been a homicide. I see an attempt to normalize a conduct so burdensome as to kill a former President, it is regrettable that criticism be directed accordingly’.
Then, the editor insisted on the same theme: “And what you attribute it, the passive accomplices”?.  Ugas replied: “I attribute it to bad intentions, where there are people who try to justify what happened in the past,” stressing that that “it cannot accept as a society”, because “the ruling provides that it is a crime against humanity”.
Accordingly, the lawyer recalled that damned 6, one of them is Raul Lillo Gutierrez, ex-agent CNI and later country to the Directorate of intelligence of the Army (DINÉ). “He was agent of the State, in fact today is in prison in Punta Peuco by the murder of Eugenio Berríos, who was the specialist in poisons that the Dina used to kill opponents”, added Joannon. “The idea was to not stay in the crime of Frei Montalva footprint”, he added.
At the end of the program, the executive director consulted the lawyer was in particular the participation of this agent of the State in the assassination. In this regard, Ugas said that “Raul Lillo was an agent in charge of collecting information of Frei Montalva, recruited the driver of the former President. I will knew that he was going to operate at this clinic.”
Finally, Joannon emphasized a point that, in his view, has not been widely disseminated: “assumptions are a valid, legitimate means to condemn perpetrators of crimes,” said, leaving again to pass questions to the judgment by his perceived lack of tests.
“I what I saw was an attempt to standardize this assassination.” If there was an agent of the State involved, means that he is not sent only”, subsequently supplemented the editor. “It is a rule of dictatorships,” said Joannon.
