A judge today indicted three former Carabineros officers as perpetrators of the crime of aggravated kidnapping, within the framework of the investigation being conducted into the disappearance of the former mayor of Coelemu, Luis Acevedo Andrade.
The resolution by Judge Alejandro Solís is directed against former Carabineros José René Jara Castro, Osvaldo René Moscoso Soto, and Heriberto Osvaldo Rojas Jiménez. Acevedo Andrade, a former Communist mayor, was last seen alive at the current central police station in Concepción on April 30, 1974, when he was detained by the uniformed police.
Judge Solís resolved to deny the defendants the benefit of provisional release, considering them a "danger to society" and due to the circumstances under which the crime was committed.
