Procultura Foundation Accused of Withdrawing Significant Sum of Money Subject to Precautionary Measure

According to the plaintiff lawyer in the Foundations case, Pablo Toloza, the Procultura Foundation withdrew a significant sum of money from one of its accounts that would be the subject of a precautionary measure by the State Defense Council (CDE).

During this Friday, the plaintiff lawyer in the Foundations case and close to the UDI, Pablo Toloza, reported that the ProCultura Foundation withdrew a significant sum of money from one of its accounts that would be the subject of a precautionary measure by the Defense Council. of the State (CDE).

According to the professional, the CDE would have entered a precautionary prejudicial measure against the aforementioned foundation, which is the subject of investigation by the Public Ministry in the so-called Agreements case, before the 1st Civil Court of Antofagasta. However, after said request, the aforementioned foundation would have withdrawn the money from that account.

“This complaining party has learned that the State Defense Council filed, before the First Court of Letters of Antofagasta, a precautionary measure, in order to safeguard the funds that eventually existed in the current account of the Procultura foundation,” said the plaintiff attorney.

Adding that “in that current account this foundation had 500 million pesos,” but “at the time of going to seize those moneys, It has been found that there is not a single peso. They withdrew 500 million pesos the day before. This is really embarrassing.”

“This shows that the Procultura foundation and these foundations that they have been establishing, and that have defrauded the treasury, their only intention was to defraud the Chilean treasury and all Chileans,” said Toloza.

For the jurist “this is a scandal. We hope that the State Defense Council will react and file all relevant legal and criminal actions.”

It is worth mentioning that the CDE is a plaintiff in the case where the facts related to the Procultura foundation are being investigated.

According to lawyers consulted, the prejudicial precautionary measure seeks to ensure the result of the trial, that is, that the Procultura Foundation cannot withdraw money from its accounts and thus maintain said amounts in case it has to return money to the treasury.

Sources from La Radio point out that, in fact, last Monday the CDE filed a precautionary preliminary ruling before the 1st Civil Court of Antofagasta. The reason, they add, is reserved.
