translated from Spanish: “It’s against the fight against the violent”: Government criticizes Cañete’s court decision to dismiss prison for school-burning detainees in Cañete

The Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, referred to the decision of the Tribunal de Guarantee de Cañete that dismissed the precautionary measure of pre-trial detention for the three defendants accused of starting a fire in a rural school in the area.
In the view of the Secretary of State, the subjects “certainly deserve all the rigour of the law” and stated that “the investigative work of the Investigative Police and the work done by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which makes available with all the background to the court, and the court does not take the necessary precautionary measures, certainly raise concerns”.
According to Víctor Pérez, the court’s decision is against “the fight against the violent, the fight against those who burn, steal and harm communities.”
“I want to express the concern, the hassle of not sharing from the Government,” said the interior holder, ensuring that there was sufficient evidence for pre-trial detention against the three detainees.
“It seems to the Government that this decision of the Cañete Guarantee Court is not consistent with the reality that this sector of the Province of Arauco is experiencing,” Minister Pérez concluded, adding that they do share the public prosecutor’s appeal to reverse an “absolutely wrong decision.”
