«WHAT IS THE SIN?»
Polizzi’s defender, Pablo Arduánfor his part, stated that «accusing her as intended of practically orchestrating all of this to defraud the treasury and manipulating professionals to achieve her objectives, it seems to me that it is a mistake when it is put that way.»
«What is Doña Camila’s sin in this? It is trying to make an effort to do things. Yes, there may be sins in administrative issuesbut to paint her with stereotypes that if she were practically a person who manipulates all the people around her, we believe that is not appropriate.»
Arduán added that «Doña Camila is a mother who has tried to get ahead and The only thing he has tried to do is help his neighbors in the northern neighborhood«.
«THE BEGINNING OF THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH»
Deputy DC Eric Aedoplaintiff in the case, stated that «what is happening today is the beginning of the search for the truth. From this formalization, those who are sitting there will begin to cooperate in establishing the truth of this case.»
«If this caudillist desire of governors to try to influence regional politics by giving money to different foundations, unions or individuals had not been generated, not only in the Biobío Region, the effect of this clientelism that would have been avoided would have been avoided. In short, they end up defrauding the treasury by irregularly financing politics,» he added.
