Campillai celebrates the decision of the Court of Appeals against Cordero, saying “Nobody is above justice”. The Court of Appeals in Santiago, Chile, has rejected the request of former police officer Claudio Crespo Cordero to revoke his sentence for being involved in the assassination attempt of Gustavo Gatica and Fabiola Campillai. The ruling is significant in that it marks yet another win for the victims of police violence who have been fighting for accountability and justice for their loved ones. Fabiola Campillai, who lost her sight due to a police attack in 2019, hailed the decision as a victory for all those who fight for justice. The court upheld the original ruling of 11 years’ imprisonment, showing that even those who are supposed to uphold the law are not above it.
The case has sparked a national debate on police brutality, which has been a widespread issue in Chile in recent years. It highlights the importance of accountability for those who are supposed to uphold the law and the need for an effective justice system to ensure justice is served. This historic ruling highlights that no one is above the law and should serve as a reminder that the victims of police violence must not be forgotten and justice must be served. In the end, it is essential to remember that everyone deserves justice and accountability, even those in positions of power.
