A few days before the plenary session of the Supreme Court meets in an extraordinary manner, in order to analyze the consequences of the revelations made by Ciper regarding the chats of ministers of that and other courts, the same medium published a new investigation , which reports on a series of actions by Víctor Gonzalo Migueles Oteíza, partner of the Supreme Court Minister Ángela Vivanco, in order to influence the competition for the national prosecutor’s office and that of the Conservator of Real Estate from Viña del Mar.
In fact, on Luis Hermosilla’s cell phone a screenshot was found sent to him by the regional prosecutor of Aysén, Carlos Palma, in which Migueles offers the persecutor the central north prosecutor’s office and “a doctorate”, after Palma had been left out. of the race for national prosecutor, when La Moneda chose to support José Morales, in 2022. According to Ciper, said offer would have been in exchange for Palma’s eventual support for Morales. In this regard, the Aysén prosecutor said that “given the surprise and discomfort that this message generated in me, I decided to send it to Luis Hermosilla to make him aware of the annoyance that this type of attitude caused me on the part of people who I understood were close to me.” him”. Regarding his relationship with Hermosilla, he explained that he knew him as a plaintiff in the “Hurricane” case, which he is investigating.
In turn, Migueles, who was consulted about it by the media, “did not directly answer those questions and sent a generic response in which he did not deny the existence of the chatbut he did protect Minister Vivanco.”
Vivanco, meanwhile, assured that she did not and could not have any relationship with the national prosecutor election process.
Another action by Migueles was to suggest to the current Real Estate Conservator of Concón, Carlos Swett, that he withdraw his candidacy for conservator of Viña del Mar in favor of Luis Fischer, which Swett preferred not to comment on when asked by the authors of the report. Vivanco denied intervening in these episodes and claimed to have no relationship with the hiring of his half-brother in the Association of Notaries, chaired by Swett.
Migueles currently works at the Puente Alto Real Estate Conservator, directed by his friend Sergio Yáber Lozano, who sold Vivanco a Porsche in 2021. When asked about the work he carries out there, Migueles said that “my professional performance is “It is carried out in the corresponding contractual terms and I do not feel I have any obligation to provide explanations in this regard, since these are contracts between individuals.”
