The judicial setback faced by Biobío Governor Sergio Giacaman not only resulted in a dismissal of the lawsuit he initiated against El Ciudadano but also incurred significant financial penalties and triggered an investigation into his legal representatives.

The Kast administration has affirmed Gabriel Zaliasnik's appointment as ambassador to Israel, despite a criminal investigation by the Regional Prosecutor's Office of Valparaíso, which follows the emergence of controversial chats involving him and another implicated lawyer.

A recent investigation has uncovered a cash envelope scheme involving former Vitacura Mayor Raúl Torrealba, indicating he received public funds meant for community activities, which led to his prosecution for corruption.

The case also involves former governor Luciano Rivas. "The complaint claims that selection processes were manipulated to favor circles of friends and family of the authorities, and even the competition's bases were altered to admit 412 applications that did not meet legal requirements," said René Saffirio, the regional governor of La Araucanía.

On the fifth month anniversary of the femicide of educator Magdalena Burgos, her mother demands justice, highlighting the preventable nature of the tragedy due to prior warnings about her daughter's assailant.

The prosecution has also called for the seizure of all of Torrealba's assets, including a property in Cunco valued at $185 million, along with several million pesos in cash that was hidden in his home.

The court's decision was welcomed by congresswoman Hassler, who stated that "regardless of his opinions, the Sierra Bella case was investigated and dismissed by the justice system, clearing all false accusations." She added, "Judicial resolutions must be respected and not utilized for political gain."

The complainant, who worked as a secretary in the legislator's Puerto Natales office from March 2022 to December 2025, stated that before signing his employment contract, he was summoned to a meeting with José Cárcamo, Kusanovic's chief of staff, who informed him that he would need to return a monthly sum of 500,000 pesos from his salary "for the senator's expenses."

The Seventh Criminal Court of Santiago has concluded the defamation action filed by Sergio Giacaman against the directors of "El Ciudadano," condemning him to pay court costs and calling for an investigation into his attorneys for potentially fraudulent actions.
