translated from Spanish: Pío Nono case: Defense of Zamora confirmed that defendant was notified of his descent in Carabineros and announces appeal for his reinstatement

This Wednesday, the notification was issued in which Carabineros ended the process of de-registration of Sebastián Zamora, formalized for the crime of manslaughter after being accused of pushing a 16-year-old to the Mapocho River.It is worth mentioning that the process of de-laying was carried out by the omission he would have incurred in respect of two body chambers and a pendrive that he kept in his locker of the 40th Police Station of Control of Order Public, one of whom he would have used at the time of the events on the Pius Bridge Nono.La defense attorney, Nubia Vivanco, referred to Carabineros’ decision and confirmed that “indeed my representative has been formally notified of his descent. Which is obviously subject to the conclusion of the administrative summary that has been opened for this purpose.” The professional added that “in this administrative summary, this defense has made two presentations that are essential for the purposes of continuing this summary.” Regarding the arguments that were put forward against Zamora, Vivanco stated that “the concept is misconduct. And misconduct is alleged against him for having made use of his particular chamber in the October 2 proceedings and not giving timely notice.” It is further noted that he would have refused to give a statement. But actually what he says is that he’s not going to testify until his lawyer is present. Those are the backgrounds with which they intend to justify the institutional downing that was notified yesterday,” he added. In addition, the lawyer did not brazenly reach the Court of Appeals for this decision. “All administrative, hierarchical resources will be used, including before the managing general (Mario Rozas). We do not in any way rule out protectional appeals before the Court of Appeals because constitutional guarantees for Sebastian are clearly being violated here as due process,” he said.
