Chile’s Undersecretariat of Crime Prevention contracted a lawyer whose company supplies spare parts to the Carabineros (Chilean national police). This lawyer’s firm is connected to the “Milicogate” scandal, a previous controversy involving alleged irregular dealings between police officials and a businessman. The contract raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and due diligence processes within the government agency. CIPER Chile first reported the connection, highlighting the firm’s existing relationship with the police force. Details of the contract’s value and scope are currently under investigation. The hiring occurred despite the firm’s prior involvement in a sensitive political case. This development adds further scrutiny to the Undersecretariat’s procurement practices.
