In Chile, former Public Security Minister Trinidad Steinert recorded her fourth absence from an investigative commission within the Chamber of Deputies. The commission is reviewing executive actions during her tenure, including information requests made to the Investigative Police (PDI) and compliance with probity standards. The commission has requested that Steinert and former Undersecretary Ana Victoria Quintana set a new date for their testimony and plans to summon current Minister Martín Arrau.
