The first president Piñera has been going through convulsed days since last Sunday, when the investigation of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) showed that he participated in the sale of the Dominga mining company through a company of his children settled in a tax haven in the British Virgin Islands in 2010, when he was serving his first term.
In dialogue with the Sputnik news agency, the lawyer stated that “It is essential that the known facts be thoroughly investigated and it is important that there is a complainant because the investigations by the Public Prosecutor’s Office have shown that they do not provide the necessary guarantees.”
While the anti-corruption chief of the Prosecutor’s Office, Marta Herrera, explained: “The national prosecutor Jorge Abbott, dated today, October 8, has decided to open a criminal investigation ex officio for the events associated with what has become known as the ‘Pandora Papers’ and that ultimately are related to the sale of the Dominga mining company, which was linked to the family of President Piñera. “
Herrera affirmed that “the national prosecutor has taken this decision considering that at the time the antecedents could have characters of bribery crime, with its correlate of bribery, and eventual tax crimes, matters that will ultimately all be the subject of an investigation.”
