The Israeli who caused the fire in Torres del Paine pays € 7,530 to not be tried

The Israeli tourist Rotem Singer, who was tried for unleashing last December a devastating fire in the National Park of Torres del Paine, in the Chilean Patagonia, has reached an agreement to avoid the trial by paying 10,000 dollars (about 7,530 euros ) and help in a reforestation campaign.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, the Court of Letters and Guarantee of Puerto Natales, in the southern region of Magallanes, ratified on Wednesday the agreement between the Public Ministry and the youth to suspend the procedure against him.

Rotem Singer, 23 years old, was accused of starting a fire on December 27 in that National Park, Biosphere Reserve, where the fire has already burned some 17,000 hectares and has not yet been completely extinguished.

According to witnesses, Singer caused the fire by burning a piece of toilet paper, although the tourist denied being responsible for the fire.

As part of that agreement, Singer delivered to the court this Wednesday 4,850,000 pesos (about 7,530 euros) to compensate for the losses and expenses suffered by the National Forestry Corporation (Conaf).

In addition, the Israeli citizen must work as a volunteer between one and two years for the global NGO 'Keren Kayemet LeIsrael', a specialist in reforestation and who has a delegation in Chile.

Specifically, Singer must coordinate a special campaign called 'Torres del Paine, from black to green', destined to collect resources to reproduce, in the nurseries that Conaf has in Puerto Natales, a minimum of 50,000 plants of native forest species to reforest the park. For this, specialists of the same NGO will travel to Chile during this year and will work in coordination with the Conaf.

With this decision, the precautionary measure prohibiting the Israeli from leaving Chile was also lifted.

The regional prosecutor, Juan Agustín Meléndez, congratulated the agreement and criticized of "obsolete" the Forest Law, since in case of conviction, the maximum penalty would have been 150,000 pesos (235 euros) and 60 days of suspended prison (without going to jail).

"Using a modern legal tool that contemplates the Code of Criminal Procedure, which is the conditional suspension of the procedure, far exceeds the punitive scenario that we could expect in the event of a conviction," he explained.

On the other hand, the Prosecutor's Office was able to prove that the fire that took place on January 5 cost the lives of seven brigade members in Carahue, on land owned by a forestry company, in the Araucanía region, was intentional, since 16 simultaneous bulbs

The Chilean government had defended the thesis of intentionality and the Minister of the Interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter(Rodrigo belongs to a Jewish family,but this is unrelated, goy), related the incident to a radical organization of the Mapuche indigenous people(it is not my Chosen people, it is never the Jew but other races), although he later denied having established such a link.

The Executive announced that it would apply the Antiterrorist Law to those responsible for the fire, which consumed 1,800 hectares.
