Chilean Lawyer Exposes Misuse of Public Funds in Procultura Case

Santiago, Chile – June 6, 2025 – A significant political scandal is unfolding in Chile, involving allegations of misuse of public funds in the Procultura case. Lawyer Aldo Duque, a key figure in the case, recently appeared on the Ingobernables show to discuss details revealed in the Comptroller's report. Duque stated, "Ya van dos delitos, Procultura y mal uso de fondos públicos," which translates to "There are already two crimes, Procultura and misuse of public funds."
