Penal - Rol O-3248-2020

This case summary details a legal proceeding involving CARABINEROS DE CHILE against Eduardo Gustavo González Carvajal. The case was handled by the Juzgado de Garantía de Iquique under RUC 2000530811-K and RIT 3248-2020, dating from July 17, 2020. It was a simplified procedure concerning a violation of public health, specifically article 318 of the Penal Code. The defendant, Eduardo Gustavo González Carvajal, was found guilty of contravening public health laws. On May 24, 2020, he was apprehended by military personnel in Iquique without a permit during a state of exception due to a public health catastrophe, which included a mandatory quarantine for the commune. The court imposed a fine of 2 UTM (approximately $118,000, based on the 2020 UTM value). A conditional suspension of the sentence was granted for six months, meaning the fine would be waived if no new offenses were committed or formalized during this period. The defendant is identified as Eduardo Gustavo González Carvajal, a 40-year-old single Chilean actor with no specified prior criminal record. The court considered attenuating circumstances under articles 11 N°6 and 11 N°9 of the Penal Code, with no aggravating circumstances noted. The specific grounds for the court's decision are detailed in the audio recording of the hearing. Key legal provisions include Article 318 of the Penal Code, Article 11 N°6 and 11 N°9 of the Penal Code, articles 39 et seq. of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding audio recording, and article 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure concerning sentence compliance and dismissal. The conditional suspension requires no new legal actions against the defendant within six months for the case to be definitively dismissed; otherwise, the fine applies. All parties reserved their rights regarding deadlines and appeals.
