Chile’s Comptroller General (CGR) has ordered investigations into three institutions regarding the handling of Haitian children’s welfare. Simultaneously, the Constitutional Tribunal (TC) has overturned a decision to remove tuition benefits from the “Protected Schools” program, reinstating free access. A separate investigation has been launched into Judge Aguilar concerning private communications related to the “Hermosilla Case,” a high-profile legal matter. These actions follow scrutiny from CIPER Chile, which initially reported on the issues. The investigations aim to determine potential irregularities and ensure accountability within the involved organizations and individuals. The TC’s ruling preserves educational access for vulnerable students, while the other inquiries address concerns about child protection and judicial impartiality. These developments highlight ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency and governance in Chile.
