La Contraloría General de la República determinó que la exministra de Seguridad Trinidad Steinert excedió sus atribuciones al pedir un informe reservado a la PDI sobre traslados de funcionarios vinculados a una investigación del Clan Chen.

El dictamen emitido el 2 de julio de 2026 señala que la solicitud de Steinert no se ajustó a sus funciones legales y violó el deber de abstención por su anterior rol como fiscal en Iquique.

El gobierno, a través del biministro Claudio Alvarado y el actual ministro Martín Arrau, respetó el fallo pero reconoció el aporte de Steinert en su gestión. Arrau enfatizó que ajustarán el rol del ministerio a la coordinación estratégica.

Diputados de oposición como Tatiana Urrutia (Frente Amplio), Patricio Pinilla (DC) y Raúl Leiva (PS) analizan una comisión especial investigadora y no descartan una acusación constitucional. La presidenta del Senado Paulina Núñez pidió concentrarse en problemas reales de la gente.
