nytimes.com - SANTIAGO, Chile — Scandals are shaking one government after another this year in Latin America: the mysterious death of a prosecutor in Argentina; the ouster of Peru’s prime minister over a domestic spying operation; the revelations of a vast bribery scheme at Brazil’s national oil company.
Chile was long thought to be above such agitations, given its reputation as one of the region’s least corrupt nations. But a series of stunning scandals is placing the political establishment here in turmoil, suddenly raising doubts about a country that has been a darling of international finance institutions and exposing figures across the ideological spectrum to scorn.
