Chile: Suspended official alleges $10M payments to Senator Walker in judicial appointments probe

Sergio Yáber, suspended head of Puente Alto's Real Estate Conservator, testified to prosecutors that he made payments totaling $10 million to Senator Matías Walker (Demócratas), as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities in the buying and selling of judicial positions. The claim is unverified and part of an ongoing probe; it implicates a sitting senator in a corruption scandal, potentially affecting political stability.
