Kast closes unit investigating illegal adoptions, causing outrage among victims

Chilean Justice Minister Luis Cordero has announced the closure of the unit dedicated to investigating illegal adoptions, a move that has ignited widespread indignation among victims and their families.

The unit, established to address the complex and often traumatic issue of illicit adoptions, was seen as a beacon of hope for those seeking to uncover the truth about their origins or the fates of children who were illegally adopted. Its closure is perceived by many as a betrayal of these victims and a significant setback in their pursuit of justice and closure.

Critics of the decision argue that disbanding the investigative unit will impede ongoing efforts to shed light on past wrongdoings and bring those responsible for illegal adoptions to account. They express deep concern that this action will leave many unresolved cases and deny victims the opportunity to find answers and potentially seek reparations.
