A former aide alleges Senator Miguel Ángel Calisto’s circle bribed ex-Aysén regional prosecutor Carlos Palma to close legal cases. The alleged funds originated from consultancy work performed by Lex and Capital, a company linked to Palma, for Confenats, a health workers' association. Investigations reveal Confenats paid at least $5 million to Lex and Capital while Palma was still with the Public Prosecutor’s Office. While a partner of Palma asserts the consultancies were legitimate and documented, three high-ranking Confenats sources state they haven’t been able to locate supporting evidence. This discrepancy raises questions about the validity of the consultancies and potential cover-ups. The case, dubbed “Caso Calisto,” centers on the blurred lines between political influence and potential obstruction of justice. Further investigation is underway to clarify the nature of the payments and the existence of the purported backing documents.
