The First Chamber of the Court of Santiago ruled that the arguments presented by the defender of the businessman were not enough, after the change of precautionary measure last week.
The First Chamber of the Court of Appeals of Santiago decreed that Daniel Sauer returns to preventive detention in the Captain Yáber annex, within the framework of the Factop case.
It should be noted that the businessman received the benefit of precautionary measure, after being more than a year deprived of liberty. Although, after the appeal of the Public Ministry, Justice decreed that the reasons delivered by the defense were not enough, so it will return to preventive detention.
-Sauer is being investigated for repeated fraud, unfair administration, invasion of banking turn, violation of the Securities Market Law, Money Laundering and Tax Crimes.
The prosecutor of the Metropolitan East explained that “given the seriousness of the crimes for which it has been formalized, and the assigned penalties (…) It was considered that the course of time in this regard was not a sufficient foundation to replace the precautionary measure. That is, not necessarily that it has been subjected to preventive detention for a year, it will justify a change of measure. ”
On the other hand, in the case of María Leonarda Villalobos investigated within the framework of the Audio case, confirmed the resolution of the Court of Guarantee and the total home arrest and national roots were maintained. In the same case, the former director of the Investigation Police (PDI), Sergio Muñoz, was condemned for the crime of revelation of secret.
