On Monday, the former Minister of Social Development, Giorgio Jackson, filed a complaint before the Fourth Guarantee Court of Santiago for the crimes of insults, slander and defamation against the businessman Jorge Errázuriz; for the crime of libel and slander, a civil lawsuit against the UDI, and another lawsuit that targets Senator PS Fidel Espinoza.

The legal action against the union community is based on a letter in which parliamentarians from the store stated that Jackson “would have been the author of two crimes,” while Errázuriz had accused the former Secretary of State of being involved in the money mess case and described him as the author of the theft of 23 computers from his former ministry, at the same time that the socialist parliamentarian called him a “gang leader,” urging him to resign from his position.

Despite the actions presented in court, this Tuesday Jackson’s lawyer, Miguel Schürmann, declared that they are willing to receive “sincere public apologies.”

In an interview with the Canal’s Violent Times program VíaX, The legal professional assured that “what is at stake is to compensate the honor, honor and public recognition that former Minister Jackson has.”

To achieve this, he clarified that there would be two ways: “a condemnatory sentence by the courts, or through sincere, extensive public apologies that are also acceptable to him, for the statements that occurred. So, when asked, if we can end like this, of course,” he assured.

On the other hand, and as he had already anticipated, the defense lawyer did not rule out that judicial actions could be expanded against the defendants, as well as against other people.

“When one files a prejudicial action, what comes next are the actual judicial measures. So, obviously there are going to be new actions and we do not rule out that there are actions against other people, we are simply evaluating how we continue with the strategy that we have carried out,” she pointed out.
