In a statement signed by the rector of the higher education institution, the University of O’Higgins reported that a complaint was filed with the local prosecutor’s office in Rancagua to investigate the serious events exposed in the Instagram post, “and to ensure that there is no impunity in situations of this nature.

According to the minutes delivered from the expert reports, it is reported that no suspicious images were found or that consider any of the elements described in the post.
