Authorities confirm criminal investigation being conducted over allegations of harassment.
Chilean authorities have confirmed that President Gabriel Boric is being investigated over allegations of sexual harassment.
In a statement on Tuesday, Attorney General Cristian Crisosto said allegations filed in September at the prosecutor’s office of Magallanes in southern Chile, where Boric previously served as a lawmaker, are being investigated.
The 38-year-old Boric has “categorically” denied the allegations through his attorney Jonatan Valenzuela, who said in a statement that Boric himself had been “the victim of systematic harassment via email”.
Valenzuela said the complaint comes from a woman who sent Boric unsolicited and sexually explicit emails from July 2013 to July 2014 while the complaint accuses Boric of harassment and leaking private images.
