The Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, together with the Undersecretary of that portfolio, Manuel Monsalve, held a meeting on Wednesday with the General Director of Carabineros, Ricardo Yáñez, to analyze the background related to an alleged "sabotage" plan by the Directorate of Intelligence of the institution against the Government. According to a publication by the media outlet Interferencia, the head of that unit, Luigi Lopestri, would be behind a plan to destabilize the Executive, using the concealment of sensitive information on security matters or reducing police surveillance of authorities, among other aspects. .

After the appointment, the chief of staff commented that "it is an issue that concerns and occupies us and in the face of this we have joined the complaint made by the Carabineros to be able to investigate in depth the information that has come out and communicate to the public what are the sources of intelligence information used by the government". On this point, Monsalve explained that "all of us who are here have considered the accusations that have been made to be very serious and we also want to say that no specific source is given in that accusation. That is why it seems important to us to clarify this fact." "Does the Government have procedures to guarantee the veracity and quality of the intelligence information that is delivered to it? The answer is yes. General Lopestri delivers information reserved to Government intelligence and a copy of these reports is delivered to the General Director of Carabineros and the general director of order and security,"

 

 

he said. Along these lines, he stressed that "the general director of the Carabineros receives exactly the same information that the Undersecretary of the Interior receives. Therefore, the veracity of the information has two counterparts. Second, every Monday there is a meeting where intelligence from the PDI and the Carabineros, therefore, there is a conflict between the information from the two institutions".

In addition, he stressed that "there is also a National Intelligence Agency that depends totally and completely on the political authority. Therefore, the political authority, in this case, the Undersecretary of the Interior, can also contrast the intelligence information of the ANI with police reports." "I want to say, therefore, that it is very complex, very difficult for what is reported to happen without the Government, the PDI or the National Intelligence Agency realizing it. Therefore, there are procedures that guarantee the veracity and quality of the intelligence information available to the Government," he concluded. Meanwhile, Yáñez maintained that "in the face of these serious accusations that were made, I ordered the intelligence director himself to make the complaint to the Public Ministry. We are going to put all the information that is necessary or required, because they are serious statements that cannot damage trust. that exists with the authority of Government". "What we have handed over to the Public Prosecutor's Office are the records that have circulated through an information medium and that, given the seriousness, could constitute a crime. That is why we have denounced it directly so that it can be investigated if there is merit to those statements that are there. ", he finished.
