Today, November 7, 2023: while a demonstration in solidarity took place outside, the court gave the verdict against Mónica and Francisco after four months on trial.
Francisco was convicted as the perpetrator of:
*Two counts of sending parcel bombs (54 Precinct and Hinzpeter [right wing Chilean politician and former defense minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter])
*One count of attempted homicide of carabineros
*One count of serious injury to a carabinero
*One count of a less serious injury
*Five counts of minor injuries
*One count of qualified damages (Precinct)
*One count of attempted homicide of Hinzpeter
*Two counts of placing an explosive device (Tánica building)
Acquitted of: Identity theft
Mónica was convicted as an accomplice of:
*Two counts of placing an explosive device (Tánica)
Acquitted of: Possession of marijuana.
In short, the court accepted much of the prosecution’s charges, but in the case of Francisco, one count of attempted homicide was downgraded to injuries, and he was acquitted of identity theft. In the case of Mónica, she was downgraded from perpetrator, to accomplice, in addition to rejecting some aggravating factors proposed by the prosecutors.
The court is expected to hand over the final sentence on 7 December 2023 with the number of specific years of sentence weighing on each.
We salute those black hearts that strike those in power. Love and anarchy to Mónica y Francisco.
