The police institution made the decision after conducting an investigation, after receiving an anonymous complaint accusing the Carabineros major of carrying out “scams to stores that sponsor athletes.”

The police institution made the decision after conducting an investigation, after receiving an anonymous complaint accusing the Carabineros major of carrying out “Scams to stores that sponsor athletes such as Julbo or Clínica MEDS, indicating that they do high mountain“.
In the complaint, to which Radio Biobío had access, it was detailed that the police officer “went to ask for sponsorship to obtain things, showing images of his achievements, but It’s all fake because he copies photos of athletes, pretending to be them.“.
“See his profile Pablo.Maraboli. He lied to the police and even to the newspaper La Nación, saying that he won a prize in Alaskabut it’s not him,” he added.
After the veracity of the accusation was verified, The general director of Carabineros, Ricardo Yáñez, proposed to President Gabriel Boric the temporary retirement of Major Pablo Marabolí Ulloa.
As detailed by the police chief, Major Marabolí, “engaged in reprehensible conduct that manifestly violates ethical, moral and doctrinal principlesseriously compromising the image and prestige of the Carabineros of Chile, undermining the dignity and decorum of the staff.”
Forgeries as a mountaineer of Marabolí
According to the investigation carried out by the Internal Affairs Department of the police institution, it was found that The achievements as a mountaineer that Major Marabolí had claimed did not belong to him..
In fact, there is a note published on the website of the Carabineros Academy of Police Sciences, which states that the Chilean Mountaineering Federation had carried out a “Thrilling mountaineering feat on Mount Denali, Alaska“, which Marabolí Ulloa had supposedly made in February 2023.
A recognition that was even published in the magazine of Carabineros de Chile, edition No. 818, June 2023, in an article entitled “Opening Routes in the World, Alpine Ice Axe Award for Captain“, according to the radio station’s note.
However, through an exhaustive review of the major’s travel records carried out by the South Strategic Coordination Unit (UCE) of the Investigative Police, It was found that there were no records of his departure or entry to the United States or Alaska in January 2023.
The only recorded trip by Marabolí was to Peru between December 30, 2022 and January 2, 2023.
Specifically, the investigations showed that Marabolí Ulloa had submitted false documents to support his achievements as a mountaineer. An email from the Sports Management of the Brand The North Face Chile, addressed to the General Secretariat of Carabineros, falsely recognized his ascent of Mount Denali and mentioned him as a “athlete of our brand“.
However, the research staff discovered that This email was fake and the website from which the email was sent had been recently created..
