- Senator Miguel Ángel Calisto’s defense challenged the renewed closure of an investigation into alleged fraud against the Treasury.

The defense of Chilean Senator Miguel Ángel Calisto is preparing a legal appeal after challenging both the latest closure of an investigation into alleged fraud against the Treasury and the indictment filed by prosecutors.
Calisto’s lawyers argue that the Public Prosecutor’s Office considered material incorporated during the final stage of the case. They say the defense did not have access to those records.
The defense has framed the issue as a violation of the right to a defense and plans to pursue an appeal for protection. The challenge targets the procedure used before the case moved forward, rather than offering a final resolution of the underlying fraud allegation.
