The Rancagua Guarantee Court accepted Codelco's request for guarantees and restricted the scope of the prosecutor's information requests in the investigation into the deaths of six workers in July 2025.
The court recognized Codelco's right to participate with its defense in the proceedings and clarified that it is not appropriate to require the company to produce information that could affect its procedural guarantees.
Codelco has responded to 30 requests and provided more than 14,000 records. Its lawyer Davor Harasic said the company seeks "a fair investigation, a rational investigation and therefore a much faster one".
The regional prosecutor of O'Higgins, Aquiles Cubillos, said the ruling "is not entirely clear" and that he will review the minutes. He added that the Public Ministry is empowered to request strategic information and will maintain reasonable deadlines for data delivery.
