Tragedy in El Teniente: court accepts caution of guarantees requested by Codelco and prosecutor avoids pronouncing by resolution

A court in Rancagua accepted Codelco's precautionary measure against the Public Prosecutor's Office regarding information requests related to the investigation into the death of six workers at the El Teniente mine in late July 2025. The court ruled that the Public Prosecutor violated Codelco's right to technical defense and limited the scope of the information requests. It emphasized that the investigation should focus on clarifying the specific facts under scrutiny rather than reconstructing the entire historical activity of the El Teniente division. The court also ordered the creation of a restricted channel for delivering private audit reports and structural failure analyses commissioned by Codelco to international consultants, citing the need to protect strategic information. Codelco argued that the Public Prosecutor had set excessive deadlines and made disproportionate requests, which could affect the rationality of the investigation and proper defense. However, Regional Prosecutor Aquiles Cubillos expressed concerns over the court's ruling, stating it was unclear and mentioned potential legal issues with applying intellectual property and access-to-information laws in this刑事探
