translated from Spanish: There were more undestined gifts: they reformalized general (r) Gordon for more than $70 million

On September 6, Friday, the Seventh Guarantee Court of Santiago set the hearing to reform former General Eduardo Gordon, who was director of Carabineros between 2008 and 2011, and his former head of Relac Public (R) Jorge Serrano, for the alleged embezzlement of public flows.
It is not the first time that both have been formalized, since in March 2018, the regional prosecutor of Magellan, Eugenio Campos, did so, and for the same crimes. At that time, they were charged that they would have used more than $21 million of public funds, in the expenses of representing the institution’s Department of Public Relations, to buy personal gifts. The possible misuse of these resources was detected through an audit of the Comptroller’s Office in 2011.
The September formalization will be for the same reason, as the Public Prosecutor’s Office identified a few months ago that the amount for this wrongdoing was much higher and asked the court for a hearing to charge him a greater amount of damage, which would exceed $70 million.
According to statements taken by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, there are a number of people who appear as recipients of gifts they never received. For example, the ex-chaplain of the Home of Christ, Agustín Moreira, was asked, in April 2018, if he had received as a gift from Carabineros a pressure cooker and a washing machine for the home. The religious’s response was: “I didn’t receive the species you consult me.” This same sentence was repeated by the president of the National Cancer Corporation, the Red Cross, commercial heads of banks and representatives of fire brigades, among others.
