[Prosecutor’s Office carried out proceedings in Rancagua and Santiago in investigation for abuses in the Church]
* Personal de Carabineros y Fiscalía llegaron hasta el obispado de Rancagua y dependencias del Arzobispado de Santiago.
* Se investigan conductas impropias de al menos 14 sacerdotes.
* Personal de Carabineros y la Fiscalía realizaron diversas diligencias simultáneas en la mañana de este miércoles en dependencias de la Diócesis de Rancagua y el Arzobispado de Santiago.
Las diligencias se iniciaron en el obispado de Rancagua, hasta donde llegaron efectivos del OS-9 de Carabineros y el fiscal Sergio Pérez con una orden de entrada y registro emitida por el Tribunal de Garantía de Pichilemu.
En paralelo, el fiscal Emiliano Arias llegó hasta el Tribunal Eclesiástico de Santiago para llevar a cabo otra serie de diligencias, oportunidad en la que comentó que “nadie está al margen de la ley”.
Posteriormente, Arias se dirigió hacia el Arzobispado con el fin de avanzar en las indagatorias.
Arias apuntó que “hubo toda la colaboración en la entrega de los antecedentes que contaban en la orden judicial, se trata de mucha documentación incautada, tanto aquí como en Rancagua, en la que pretendo ahora abocarme de inmediato a poder analizar para poder decretar diligencias”.
El persecutor remarcó que “lo que sí me gustaría aclarar desde ya es que yo no estoy investigando a la iglesia católica, yo estoy investigando a ciertas y determinadas personas naturales que han cometido delitos y que son parte de la iglesia católica”.
