A trail of accusations have left the dismissals that occurred a few weeks ago in the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications. Then, through the head of the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications (Subtel), Claudio Araya, the resignation of three of the members of its board of directors was requested: Jaccob Sandoval, head of Finance Administration; Marco Silva, prosecutor; and the chief of staff, Manuel Luna.
