The process was promoted by the opposition after knowing that the name of the politician appears in the ‘Pandora Papers’
The Senate of Chile has rejected this Tuesday the constitutional accusation – impeachment process – against the president, Sebastián Piñera, for the sale of Minera Dominga, a transaction included in the ‘Pandora Papers’ and that has motivated the Chilean Prosecutor’s Office to open an investigation for possible bribery crimes, among others.
A total of 15 senators have voted against, so the proposal can no longer reach the 29 supports necessary for the removal of the president, according to the Chilean channel Canal 13.
In this way, the accusation does not proceed despite having been approved by the Chamber of Deputies on November 9 after hours of debate.
