A formal inquiry is being considered against Chilean Court of Santiago Minister Alejandro Aguilar following the release of private conversations. The chats reveal discussions between lawyer Luis Hermosilla and current Israeli ambassador Gabriel Zaliasnik regarding efforts to influence Aguilar’s appointment. A request has been submitted to open an investigation into Aguilar, alleging the revelations compromise the independence and impartiality of the judiciary. The Court of Santiago has confirmed its full panel will evaluate whether to proceed with the inquiry. The allegations center on potential undue influence in a high-level judicial appointment. This development marks a significant escalation in the unfolding controversy surrounding the alleged influence network. The outcome of the Court’s evaluation will determine if a formal investigation is launched.
