translated from Spanish: Raises tension in career Prosecutor Metropolitana South: national tax Association warns that candidate walls “does not meet the requirements” for the office

The race to assume the South Metropolitan Prosecutor is unleashed and one of the ten candidates, the current Prosecutor Regional de la Araucanía, Cristian Paredes, has s ufrido some stumbles.
Walls is considered the “ideal” of the national prosecutor, Jorge Abott, who ultimately has in its hands the decision to appoint the successor of Raúl Guzmán as the new head of the South Metropolitan. But earlier, his name should be included in a list of candidates, elaborated by the courts of appeals of Santiago and San Miguel.
Just those instances addressed a letter the President of the National Association of prosecutors of the public prosecutor, Mario Carrera, challenging the candidacy of walls.
According to the letter, walls “does not comply with the legal and constitutional requirements” to run for the post, and therefore the application must be disposed.
The main argument of the Association is that it is irrelevant that walls is applying for the position, without having given up his post as Chief Prosecutor of La Araucanía. “The postulation without renunciation truck abandoned on the criminal prosecution in a region as sensitive as it is La Araucania,” it raises.
After citing several legal and constitutional articles, career says in the letter that “the made sure the current regional prosecutor in the exercise of his office today is applying Regional co-prosecutor in the southern Metropolitan Region, not having been detached even from the” charge of Prosecutor Regional de La Araucanía, having not given up even from the position of members of the general Council, public prosecutor (Council which has among its functions the advise the national prosecutor), set an objective set of circumstances in which like it or not is naturally perceived that the behaviour of walls is ideal to improperly assert an officer position and whose effect is to influence, independent to that the influence is consumed or not, because the law does not require the completion of the result but only the realization of a behavior (action/omission) ideal for influence. And what precisely – in fact – occurs in the species”.
Walls has been in 2013 as the Araucanía regional Attorney, and has cultivated a low profile media, despite bullados cases which took in his hands the public prosecutor of the region. From that position he had a public disagreement with then Mayor Francisco Huenchumilla, during the last Government, after the sayings of the current Senator calling the prosecutors as “charlatans” and “bounty hunter”.
The Prosecutor also had in his hands the investigation of the controversial operation hurricane, in which the former Chief of police, Gonzalo Blu, intelligence is formalized. In this context, the Prosecutor had to receive police protection from police officers in investigations of Chile, due to traces, surveillance and recordings by officials of Carabineros of the Dipolcar which was subjected.
The problem is that – reach Santiago – walls will have that working elbow to elbow in their investigative work with that same unit of uniformed police, which causes noise inside of this institution.
Key audience the headquarter of the South Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office should be renewed since Raúl Guzmán meets their period of 8 years in command of this key unit of the public prosecutor’s Office.
Guzman already has clear their future in the desired position of Secretary general of the Senate, after parliamentary committees oficializaran this Wednesday its name, which must be ratified at the session room next Tuesday.
Inside of the Public Ministry, the next step coming for replacement is the hearing scheduled by the Court of appeals of Santiago and San Miguel, where the exhibitions of the applicants will be heard on Tuesday, April 16.
In total there are 10 candidates, who include the prosecutors Rodrigo Chinchón, Hector Barros, Patricio Pérez Rojas, Marcos Pastén, Leyla Chahín Valenzuela and Tufit Bufadel.
They are joined by Luis Cáceres Bravo, head of the Intelligence Division of the national agency of intelligence (ANI) and the lawyer Umberto Montiglio Valenzuela besides walls, another card that runs with advantage in this race is that of Trinidad Steinert (former President of the) Association of tax) and current Prosecutor of the crimes violent of the Fiscalía Regional Metropolitan South unit. Prosecutor’s sources indicate that it is a well-positioned name, whereas the signal according to the times that would be left in the hands of a woman a public prosecutor of the weight of the South Metropolitan.
