Crisis in Chilean tennis: IND complains against Milovan Kegevic before the Prosecutor's Office for alleged falsification of documents

The Chilean tennis federation is facing a crisis after the elected president, Milovan Kegevic, and his secretary, Valentina Marín, were suspended by the election commission for allegedly presenting forged professional qualification certificates. The decision was based on an official letter from the Bolivarian University, signed by its general secretary, Carlos Gaete Becerra, stating that neither Kegevic nor Marín were registered at the institution. The National Institute of Sports (IND) has filed a formal complaint with the Ñuñoa Prosecutor’s Office accusing them of 'forgery or malicious use of public documents,' citing evidence provided by former president Sergio Elías, including a message from Gaete confirming their non-membership. The IND emphasized that this action is part of its institutional duty to report such allegations to the authorities, rather than a criminal charge. Additionally, former vice-president Iván Navarro has also filed a lawsuit for similar reasons. Kegevic has responded by filing a legal challenge against the electoral commission, arguing that the impugnation was out of time and that the ethics committee of the Chilean Tennis Federation lacks authority.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the situation objectively, detailing both the accusations against Kegevic and the responses from the institutions involved. It does not take a clear ideological stance but reports the actions of multiple parties, including the IND, the election commission, and Kegevic's defense.
