Families in two Chilean coastal towns have taken legal action against 16 former executives of ENAP, the state oil company, over allegations of manipulating environmental data. The criminal complaints, filed by lawyer Remberto Valdés, accuse the former ENAP leaders of altering or falsifying pollution data related to the Aconcagua refinery.
Valdés represents families from Quintero and Puchuncaví, two neighboring communes in the Valparaíso region. The legal action, a private criminal complaint known as a querella criminal, allows the families to actively participate in the investigation and trial. If the allegations are proven, the manipulation of data could have significant implications for public health and the environment.
The cases are currently under investigation by the Juzgado de Garantía in Viña del Mar, a court that oversees the investigative stage of criminal proceedings. The outcome of the legal action remains uncertain as the cases progress through the judicial system.
