Chilean graft scandal shocks Chilean politics and resignations
In Santiago a graft scandal over feeding nitrate refugees led to police and officials taking leave. Minister of the Interior Yemsel Tovernal announced suspected overpayments to contractors supplying food to 22 000 refugees. Prefect of police Bernarda Gomez Scant and others sought temporary licenses as the investigation began. President Alessandri attempted a decree to appoint Tocornal as vice president, but the move was withdrawn after cabinet opposition.
