The amount received by the candidate for mayor of Las Condes as a teacher at the aforementioned school was known through a report published by El Mostrador, according to which Cubillos received the money every month, even while he lived in Spain with his partner, Andrés Allamand..
When referring to the millionaire salary, Marcela Cubillos asserted that “Yes, I left a very good job to take up the candidacy in Las Condes“.

What the complaint against Marcela Cubillos says
In the document presented by Manoucheri and Cicardini in the Prosecutor’s Office, the socialist deputies stated that “we have come to file a complaint for possible crimes of corruption, bribery, bribery, irregular financing of politics, simulated contracts and any other criminal offense that arise from the facts investigated, as a result of the millionaire salaries that the San Sebastián University paid to Mrs. Marcela Cubillos“.
“The questions are not only related to this contract, but also to a series of contracts that were made over a long period of time, which reasonably raise doubts regarding the use and destination of public resources transferred by the State of Chile to the private universitywhere the resources of all Chileans could have been misused and even profited from,” the text adds.
Faced with the above, the party members requested that “an investigation is initiated into the possible commission of a series of criminal offenses against those found responsible for the crimes of corruption, bribery, bribery, irregular financing of politics, simulated contracts and any other criminal offense that arises from the facts investigated.”
