Belarusian plot: Lagos insists on getting out of jail and appeals to the Supreme Court to review amparo

Eduardo Lagos Herrera, who is being investigated for bribery and money laundering as part of the 'Bielorrusa' case, has been in preventive detention for eight months. His lawyer, Marcelo Abujiar, is seeking to appeal to Chile's Supreme Court to review his continued imprisonment, arguing that the current measures lack sufficient legal justification. A recent hearing at the San Miguel Appellate Court rejected the defense's request, but they plan to file another appeal to the Supreme Court, citing inconsistencies with previous rulings on preventive detention. The case involves ongoing legal challenges regarding the conditions and duration of Lagos' detention.
