CLThe Supreme Court of Chile has confirmed severe sanctions against three officials from the Administrative Corporation of the Judiciary (CAPJ): Mario Lara, Esteban Paiva, and Pablo Cabezas. The investigation focused on alleged breaches of integrity within the Department of Institutional Development (DDI) at CAPJ. Minister María Cristina Gajardo led an administrative inquiry after receiving an anonymous complaint, which revealed suspicions that these officials used their positions to engage in parallel businesses by leveraging knowledge gained through their roles in the judiciary. Specifically, Lara was involved in implementing artificial intelligence projects for the Chilean judiciary but also took on similar roles in other countries like the Dominican Republic. The findings indicated that they developed AI-related applications using CAPJ funding and later offered this expertise to foreign entities. As a result, Lara was dismissed, while Paiva and Cabezas faced two-month suspensions and formal disciplinary proceedings. The accused challenged the decision, claiming the process violated internal judicial norms and due process rights, and plans to appeal to a higher authority.
