Chile Appeals Court Upholds Precautionary Measures for Ex-GORE Official in Fraud Case

Chile's appeals court rejected the prosecutor's request to increase precautionary measures against a former Bío Bío regional government official charged with fraud against the Treasury in the 'Mi Hogar Asuncionista' branch of the Case Agreements. The court maintained the measures set on September 8 by the Concepción Guarantee Court. This procedural ruling signals a setback for the prosecution but does not resolve the underlying corruption allegations.
