CLManuel Monsalve, former undersecretary accused of sexual abuse and rape, had been under house arrest for 14 months in his home in Valparaíso. On July 23, 2026, the 7th Court of Guarantee in Santiago modified his precautionary measure, allowing him to leave his home during the day while requiring him to return by 10 PM and remain at home until 6 AM. The Northern District Prosecution announced it would appeal this decision. Monsalve was previously held in preventive detention from November 19, 2024, to May 19, 2025, but the Supreme Court accepted his defense’s habeas corpus petition, allowing him to leave the Capitán Yáber facility. He now has more freedom during the day but remains restricted at night.
