The organizations call to expose "this framing to uncover Julia Chuñil’s whereabouts and continue demanding a thorough, truthful, and transparent investigation."

As a result, the Prosecutor's Office is now able to request an arrest warrant and formal charges against the former judge for bribery and money laundering offenses.
