translated from Spanish: General (R) Fuente-Alba will be formalized on May 30th by laundering of assets

The seventh Court of Guarantee of Santiago reported that General (R) Juan Miguel Fuente-Alba will be formalized for the crime of laundering of assets on Thursday 30 May at 09:00 hours. The court released the information one day after the North Central prosecutor’s Office requested a date to impute the former commander-in-chief of the army. The petition was filed by the chief prosecutor of Santiago, José Morales, after receiving a report from the PDI that verified the illegals committed by the general in retirement. Fuente-Alba’s attorney, Maximiliano Murath, said Thursday that he expected “the prosecution at some point to make a decision and that will mean that we will be able to deploy all the rest of the defense in order to prove that the items of charges are not Enough to be able to get a conviction in that crime. ” In addition, he added that “while Minister Rutherford does not end up dictating a sentence in which he effectively establishes the basic fact, the laundering of assets is a fact that must be based on the embezzlement of public causals.” It should be recalled that Minister Romy Rutherford indicted the former commander-in-chief of the Army as the author of the repeated crime of embezzlement of public flows, for an approximate amount of 3.5 billion pesos.
