| Chile President Bachelet testifies in tax probe into daughter-in-law |
|
 Chile's President Michelle Bachelet voluntarily testified earlier this week with the national prosecutor's office as part of a probe into alleged tax crimes by her daughter-in-law Natalia Compagnon, the government said late on Friday. While Bachelet has not been accused of any wrongdoing, the case has been one of a number of high-profile money-in-politics scandals to come to light over the last year, sowing discontent among Chileans and dragging the President's popularity to all-time lows. Interior Minister Jorge Burgos disclosed on Friday that he informed Bachelet that he had received a request from the prosecutor's office for the President to voluntarily testify in the probe.
