In its edition of today, "La Tercera" published that on July 12, the director of the Unit of Human Rights, Sexual Violence and Sexual Offenses of the National Prosecutor's Office, Luis Torres -described as a formal link with the Vatican's Office of the Prosecutor's Office in Chile, sent an email to the country's regional prosecutors. In this reiterated, now with the content of the instruction, a petition that had already done in a previous letter of June 19: the need to appoint preferential prosecutors to investigate the wrongs committed by members of the l & # 39; Catholic Church in which integrity was violated The sources of La Tercera specify that in the first communication, Torres asked the regional leaders if they had decided to give priority to these investigations, but last week, he directly ordered that investigations be expedited. This preferential character, which was already held in Temuco for these crimes, implies greater dedication and access to resources.
The next grade is devoted exclusively.
The impulse of the national prosecutor, Jorge Abbott, comes in the middle of the badault of the persecutor Emiliano Arias, who for the first time in Chile has seized ecclesiastical archives of the archbishoprics of Santiago and Rancagua, and has asked last week to arrest the former Foreign Minister, Oscar Muñoz Toledo, for crimes of badual abuse and rape quality of repetitive. Thus, Toledo has become the highest authority of the Church who has been imprisoned for acts of this nature.
Although initially, Abbott felt that it would only take a few weeks to organize information from all over the country, requested by an email dated June 13, regarding the causes that will be incorporated in the requirement of international cooperation in the Vatican, in particular, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith should be asked to organize the transfer of canonical processes minors from at least the 2000s to the present day , which is the period during which the reform of the criminal procedure in Chile has entered into force. In parallel, the congregation should allow dioceses to disclose previous investigations involving children.
However, the process was slower than expected.
The prosecution states that the prosecutors have submitted their general information: name of the accused, the victim, identification and account of the case, open or closed, but after that a check and a cross of data with the base of the institution was initiated.
At the purification of information, ongoing, other elements have been added: the causes that have been opened in recent weeks by the trade, press information on the illicit , the request of the prosecutor Raúl Guzmán to incorporate the Scicluna report and a strategic decision not yet adopted: whether to ask priests sought for causes in the old justice system.
