Following the revelation of the Ciper report, which reported the direct awarding of a task already being carried out by experts from the Milenio Institute, parliamentarians such as Carmen Hertz expressed their dismay at the controversy generated by Minister Luis Cordero.
The decision of the Ministry of Justice to give $717 million to the software company Unholster, around $620 million through direct dealing, for the development of the computing platform to facilitate the management of the National Search Plan, continues to generate talk.
Among those who spoke out about this situation is former PDI member Sandro Gaete, who resigned from his position as head of analysis for the Human Rights Program after learning about the hiring of Unholster’s services.
In an interview with La Tercera, Gaete questioned the million-dollar payment, asserting that the work for which the company was contracted was already being carried out for free by the Millennium Institute for Data Foundations (IMFD), using as a base the Angelus software, provided free of charge by Mexican experts.
The now former official of the National Search Plan criticized the process carried out by the Ministry of Justice, and especially by Luis Cordero, to directly award the millionaire resources to Unholster.
“I couldn’t continue there. Look, they’re paying more than $700 million to a company for something that was being done for free. Information is being withheld from the families, the truth is being misrepresented regarding the technical capacity of the Milenio Institute, the Comptroller’s Office was prevented from obtaining information, and the work of establishing the trajectories has already been done and was not done by Unholster,” said Sandro Gaete.
Following the revelation of the Ciper report, which reported the direct awarding of a task that was already being carried out by experts from the Milenio Institute, Parliamentarians such as Carmen Hertz expressed their dismay at the controversy generated by Minister Luis Cordero.
“It is regrettable and painful what is happening with the National Plan for Searching for Disappeared Detainees, which aims not only to find probable clandestine burial sites, but also to establish the method of extermination implemented by the dictatorship,” said the PC deputy. on social media.
Hertz stressed that “direct deals are not made with private companies behind the backs of the relatives to gather information that already exists, from the work of the lawyers of the Vicariate of Solidarity to analysts of the Human Rights Program.”
