The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reduced its growth projection for Chile to 0.6%. Simultaneously, Undersecretary of Crime Prevention, José Miguel Santibanez Migueles, admitted to requesting former prosecutor José Domingo Vivanco to expedite a ruling in the Fundamenta case. This admission raises questions regarding potential political interference in judicial processes. Further complicating matters, the oral trial preparation against Luis Hermosilla has been postponed until 2027. The delays stem from pending resolutions in the Fundamenta case, impacting the timeline for bringing Hermosilla to trial. These developments collectively paint a complex picture of Chile’s economic outlook and the challenges facing its legal system. The original report was published by CIPER Chile.
