Tarapacá Tennis Club Case
In November 2023, prosecutor Juan Zepeda formalized the criminal investigation against the defendants, since in their capacity as representatives of the club, the directors, together with other partners, appropriated the only assets of the group, a property located at 140 Bulnes Street in the city of Iquique.
The defendants transferred the property to a paper corporation, formed by themselves to sell the facilities to a real estate company for more than $3,000 million, a deal that was completed and whose money was distributed among the club members and the board, to the detriment of the social assets of the club they were part of.
Due to this, Manuel Palacios Cáceres, one of the club’s members, filed a complaint for the alleged violation of the statutes when selling the land of the non-profit sports institution, through a complaint to the Investigative Police ( POI).
The partner of the institution was able to verify that the members of Inmobiliaria Tarapacá SA were also associated with the sports group and that at the same time they sold the tennis courts at the facility.
