IN the NEWS - Chilean Raids

Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution,

whether it be to the emperor as supreme,

or to governors as sent by him

"Chilean prosecutors raided four dioceses in the country as they continue a nationwide investigation into cases of clerical sexual abuse.


 Fr. Óscar Muñoz Toledo

Lead prosecutor Emiliano Arias ordered search-and-seizure operations Sept. 13 of the diocesan offices of Osorno, Valparaiso, Concepcion and Chillan. This was the third raid authorized by Arias.
After the raid, a spokesman for Arias told the Reuters news agency that information collected from previous raids conducted in Santiago and Rancagua in June led to the search operations in the other dioceses.
The information, according to Reuters, is related to the case of Fr. Óscar Muñoz Toledo, the former chancellor of the Archdiocese of Santiago, who was arrested July 12 following allegations that he abused seven minors in Santiago and Rancagua since 2002.
Chilean prosecutors are investigating the charges against Muñoz as well as several other pending investigations, including the existence of an alleged sex-abuse ring in Rancagua."
