The Criminal Court of Appeal in Viña del Mar acquitted a Carabineros captain accused of unlawful coercion during the 2019 social unrest. The decision was based on a lack of conclusive evidence linking the officer to the case, as neither the victim nor witnesses directly identified the accused. The evidence presented was insufficient to establish his authorship and raised reasonable doubts about the location of the events, preventing confirmation of his responsibility.

A court in Viña del Mar acquitted a Carabineros captain accused of unlawful coercion during the 2019 social unrest. The ruling came after the court determined there was insufficient evidence to prove his involvement in the incident, which left one person injured by pellets.

According to the court, there was no direct identification of the accused by the victim or witnesses, and the evidence presented was not conclusive in establishing his authorship.

The court also noted that the evidence raised reasonable doubts even regarding the exact location where the events allegedly occurred, preventing confirmation of the officer’s responsibility.

The sentence also indicated that all investigative steps were not exhausted to rule out the involvement of other possible parties. With this, the court concluded that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt could not be proven, and the accused was acquitted.
