The legal and ethical scene is shaking strongly in Chile after the explosion of compromising audio that has linked Luis Hermosilla, that prominent jurist, with alleged acts of corruption in the Internal Revenue Service (SII) and the Financial Market Commission (CMF). In the midst of this maelstrom, his brother and legal defender, Juan Pablo Hermosillaemerges to address the controversy.
From his perspective, this controversy is woven into a political fabric, a maneuver precisely designed to unleash it at the right moment. Juan Pablo Hermosilla, in his statements to radio Biobío, highlights the prevailing need to investigate not only the crimes exposed by the recording, but also the identity of the person responsible after its leak and, what is even more crucial, the underlying motives for this action. .
The focus falls on Luis Hermosilla, under investigation by the Public Ministry after Ciper Chile revealed the compromising audio, which suggests an exchange of favors with SII and CMF officials in favor of businessman Daniel Sauer. This revelation triggered criminal investigations by the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office and the Bar Association, marking a legal storm on the jurist’s horizon.
Juan Pablo Hermosilla, aware of the complexity of the case, emphasizes the exposure inherent to the legal profession, especially when it orbits in circles of power. He recognizes the importance of assuming responsibility for errors committed, always respecting professional secrecy. However, he highlights the deep-rooted systemic corruption in economic cases and the urgent need to eradicate it.
The lawyer is not limited to his brother’s situation, he expands the spectrum to the general panorama of corruption. From his point of view, this scourge permeates from different angles: businessmen and lawyers who promote corruption, public officials who initiate it, and other actors who operate as intermediaries. It is a historical wound in Chile that, in his opinion, needs to be closed.
Regarding the specific case of his brother, Juan Pablo Hermosilla suggests a double line of inquiry: the determination of the existence or not of crimes and corruption in the recording, and the mystery that surrounds the leak of the information. He suspects that a more complex agenda is hidden behind this revelation, possibly orchestrated from political spheres, as sources close to the media point out.
Despite the complexity, Hermosilla is optimistic about research on both fronts. He insists on the need to scrutinize the ins and outs of this scandal, which has shaken the foundations of justice and integrity in the South American country.
