translated from Spanish: Lawyer of Rancagua judge who was found dead: “There has been a public condemnation that is difficult to reverse”

Gonzalo Linazasoro, lawyer of Judge Marcelo Albornoz, who was being investigated for influence stakes and failures to probity and who was found dead at his home yesterday referred on Radio Cooperativa to the death of the magistrate.
The jurist said that “Marcelo was in a good mood, confident that his outcome in legal proceedings would be positive” and added that the magistrate “categorically no” was in bad spirits in the face of the inquest, for which he was sanctioned by the Supreme Court with a four-month suspension and the opening of a removal notebook.
“Here we are with the pack in front, there has been a public condemnation that is difficult to reverse. The public pack corresponds to a widespread view that there was corruption and corruption couple that had to be convicted or else the Supreme Court was endorsing corruption,” Linazasoro argued about the investigation against Albornoz and others two ministers of the Court of Appeals of Rancagua.
The lawyer further added that in the proceedings against the judge “there was no proportionality, humanity or protection of rights.”
Of the accusations, the lawyer said that “one and a half million pesos were actually requested (Dr. Luis Arenas, who was in breach of the precautionary pre-trial detention, charged for drug trafficking and money laundering offences). That money was to help a Brother Freemason who was terminally ill. Requesting money for a charitable cause is not corruption.”
“When talking about the pack by former Minister Solis (Isidro), it is made by referring to the press, I extend that statement to all those people who have come out saying that this ‘happens by doing wrong things’, such as the Minister of Justice, Senator Letelier, the Minister vocor of government (Cecilia Pérez), I mean a trial of the city against Minister Albornoz”.
