Penal - Rol N° O-1844-2021

This document summarizes a simplified procedure case from the 14th Guarantee Court of Santiago, RUC 2100107841-8, RIT 1844-2021, dated April 16, 2021. The case involves Víctor Alfonso Ahumada Saavedra, who was found in violation of health measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic on January 30, 2021, along with Rodrigo Ivan Muñoz Correa, Manuel Mario Elizalde Mujica, and Juan David Quinceno Blandon. They were apprehended on Avenida Vicuña Mackenna Poniente with Doctor Sotero del Río in La Florida, failing to possess the required permit. The court qualified the offense as endangering public health by violating health rules during a catastrophe, as per Article 318 of the Penal Code, in its consummated degree. The imposed penalty was a fine of 1/3 of a Monthly Tax Unit (UTM), with the penalty suspended for 6 months. The defendant was also exempted from paying costs. No aggravating factors were considered, but the mitigating factor under Article 11 No. 6 of the Penal Code was applied. The summary does not detail arguments from the prosecution or defense, nor the court's specific reasoning. Legal provisions cited include Articles 318, 11 No. 6, and 15 No. 1 of the Penal Code, and Article 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The suspension of the fine is conditional upon the defendant not being prosecuted or summoned within the 6-month period; failure to comply would result in the fine's payment within 5 days, with a potential jail sentence of one day for non-compliance. The parties waived their right to appeal.
