Santiago’s appeals court has launched an investigation into Judge Alejandro Aguilar following revelations of communication with lawyer Luis Hermosilla. The inquiry was initiated after a request from lawyer Luis Mariano Rendón, who questioned Aguilar’s disciplinary responsibility. The court held an extraordinary session on June 19th to decide on the matter, ultimately voting to proceed with the investigation. The focus centers on the nature of the chats between Aguilar and Hermosilla and potential conflicts of interest. Details of the chats have not been publicly released, but they prompted concerns about impartiality. The investigation will determine if Aguilar faces any disciplinary action as a result of these communications. This development adds another layer to an ongoing legal and ethical scrutiny.
