Chamber Approves Bill to Expedite Use of Genetic Profiles in Criminal Investigations
This legislative initiative amends the Criminal Procedure Code and Law N°19.970, which created the National DNA Registry System. It aims to authorize specialized laboratories from Carabineros, PDI, and the Legal Medical Service to perform DNA comparisons and directly submit their results, thereby streamlining investigative processes.
This development is significant for modernizing criminal justice, as it promises enhanced efficiency in collecting and analyzing genetic evidence, potentially leading to faster resolution of criminal cases.
