But in the folder there were several situations that did not correspond, some that were not integrated. The defense didn’t have all the background. In other words, when the national prosecutor’s office decided to move my case and others to Santiago, it gave us the tranquility we didn’t have with Mr. Moya. ” In the same line, says “There are a number of confusing, erratic actions, I do not mean ill-intentioned, but wrong of prosecutor Moya that he will have to explain at the time.” The mayor also confirmed to the third who is preparing a criminal complaint against Sergio Moya, explaining that “we found it extremely curious that having done the investigation to verify irregular facts, have made the complaint and presented the only Complaint, then I am notified by prosecutor Moya through the press of the conditions in which I will be quoted, as imputed, and after the hearing of formalization. Therefore, they are not actions that one expects in the first place from a prosecutor of a highly complex unit. ”
