translated from Spanish: Undersecretary Bown: “You have to see the option of sanctioning judges who, by ideology, become a danger”

Undersecretary of Children Carol Bown criticized Court of Appeals Minister Silvana Donoso, who in 2016 chaired the commission that released Hugo Bustamante, who was then serving a double murder in prison, and who is now the only suspect in the crime of the teenage Amber Cornejo in German Villa. The judge led, in the first half of 2016, the court office that reviewed more than 800 folders of inmates applying for benefit, including Bustamante, who was able to access probation, after 11 years in prison of a 27th sentence, thanks to an exception considered the law at the time. However, public and social media criticism has been directed against Donoso and the other five judges who formed that commission. Even the questioning has come from Congress, with RN announcing a constitutional accusation against the minister. They were joined today by Undersecretary Bown, who also referred to one of the phrases that have been repeated on social media: “Saying that we fail as a state is a generic that seems to exculpate us all. Here are judges who seem to defend the human rights of murderers more than the victims,” he commented in a video. In this context, the government authority stated that “we need to see what is the best option of punishing a judge who, by their ideologies, becomes a danger to society.” Here what happened is serious and there seems to be sufficient background to consider that there are culprits in this regard,” he said.
