translated from Spanish: Young man accused of burning Transantiago bus sues state for $250 million after proveing innocence

Luis González, a young man who was arrested on May 31, 2019, along with three other people, accused of participating in the burning of a Transantiago bus in Providencia, in the Metropolitan region, sued the state for $250 million for moral damage and damage for lack of services on the part of Carabineros and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, through the Oriente Public Prosecutor’s Office.
This, because during the process he lost his job and lived traumatic episodes inside the penal Santiago 1, where he was sent after being formalized for the crime of fire and public disorder, being left with the precautionary measure of pre-trial detention. After 18 days, his sentence was replaced by the monthly signature.
His family fought for his innocence, which he achieved several months later when the Eighth Warranty Court in Santiago determined to overesteat him permanently.
Because of this, as reported by radio Bío Bío, on September 8, González, through his lawyer Yasna Celis, filed the claim for compensation. This is because of the allegations, formalization and subjection to restrictive measures of freedom, transgressing the principle of innocence, by forcing the person concerned to serve a sentence for a crime he did not commit
