Chile appeals court rejects preventive detention for 13 in Imperio Ámsterdam case

Chile's Court of Appeals of Santiago upheld the Fourth Guarantee Court's precautionary measures, denying the prosecution's request for preventive detention for 13 of 44 defendants in the Imperio Ámsterdam operation. This is a procedural setback for the Public Ministry, though the case continues; the ruling signals judicial restraint on pre-trial detention.
