Chilean “Belarus Plot”: Real Estate Conservator Claims Ex-Minister Orchestrated Contracts & Pressured Him
Chillán, Chile – Yamil Abraham Najle Alé, the Real Estate Conservator of Chillán, provided testimony on January 12, 2026, as a defendant in an investigation concerning alleged bribery, corruption, and money laundering, referred to as the “Belarusian scheme.” Najle stated he was appearing after entering into a cooperation agreement with the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Contracts at the Center of the Investigation
Najle’s testimony centres on contracts signed with Gonzalo Migueles, asserting he was not the originator of these agreements. He stated his intention was to “complement his previous statements” within the framework of the cooperation agreement.
A key element of the investigation is a service provision contract dated January 14, 2025, between Combustibles BEK and Migueles. Najle emphatically stated, “That contract I did not draft,” adding that the document “comes in turn from the email of Ángela Vivanco who sent it to him on January 12, 2025.”
Najle recounted receiving an initial draft he objected to, “but I objected to it for form.” He subsequently received another message with the subject line: “new document, delete the previous one.”
Payments and a Termination Agreement
The testimony also addressed a termination agreement dated December 23, 2024, intended to “put an end to the contractual relationship and incorporate into the outstanding benefits the 25 million pesos that were transferred to Gonzalo Migueles in June 2024.”
However, Najle maintained that “those funds did not originate in any service provision but were received by me to be transferred to him, without me keeping any money.” He explained a delay in signing the January 2025 contract was due to his unwillingness to sign it, stating, “it was not appropriate.”
Allegations of Pressure and Vivanco’s Role
Najle described experiencing pressure during this period. He stated the delay in signing was due to “receiving too much pressure from Gonzalo Migueles, who called me repeatedly by phone, and also called my driver repeatedly.”
Migueles allegedly relayed messages from Ángela Vivanco: “Ángela sends greetings (…) that we have to continue linked.” Najle indicated Vivanco’s position as a Supreme Court Minister contributed to the pressure he felt, stating, “She is my hierarchical superior in a way, that is what made me feel pressured.”
He further declared, “I feel that she did everything through him, she was aware,” and asserted, “Ángela drafted it and sent it,” adding, “they both had perfect knowledge of what was happening.” Najle stated refusing to sign could have “exposed [him] to risk (…) even a fiscalization.”
Claims of Limited Involvement
Throughout his statement, Najle repeatedly emphasized he did not design the contracts and lacked the technical expertise to structure them. He stated, “He is not a lawyer and did not draft this contract,” referring to Migueles, adding it was “difficult for him to have understood the background and form of these contracts.”
Najle explained he signed the contracts because he felt “a lot of pressure (…) there is a certain social, legal pressure.” He concluded, “I feel that she did everything through him (…) and I confirm it since he did not have the capabilities he said he had.”
