Acosta Family Legal Battleactive

Silvana Acosta, daughter of Nelson Acosta, once again spoke about the difficult health situation her father is facing. She also shared a message of gratitude for the outpouring of support following her dramatic plea for help. "I want to send a big kiss and hug to everyone for all the support you've given to the video I posted last weekend. The expressions of affection have been enormous, and I am proud to know that my father is so loved," she began in a video shared on her social media. "Because you are all so concerned, I wanted to tell you that my father is indeed hospitalized. As I have been warning the courts for several months, the illnesses that have been accumulating are complicating his underlying condition, causing him to become unstable from time to time and require medical attention," she added. She reiterated in her message: "As his daughter, and what I am insisting on, and why I asked for help, is because I want to fulfill what my father planned. He was proactive, he organized everything, and he arranged a plan with his health insurance company that provided 100% coverage at the German Clinic, with all his insurance policies there; it was the type of care he preferred." "Therefore, I want to fulfill that wish and continue with what he was accustomed to, which was receiving care at the German Clinic, where everything is guaranteed. I would like to ask you once again to keep him in your prayers and good thoughts so that my father can recover as soon as possible..."

The Criminal Court of First Instance in Rancagua sentenced Evelyn Beatriz de Lourdes Muñoz Avilés to life imprisonment after she was found guilty as a co-author and instigator of the aggravated homicide that occurred in March 2024 on Route 5 South, near the municipality of San Francisco de Mostazal. In a unanimous decision, the court also sentenced Hernán Fabián David Robles Villatoro to 18 years in prison as an accomplice in the crime, while Francisca Carolina Ortega Vásquez received a sentence of 10 years for being an accessory. According to the court's findings, in the days leading up to the crime, Muñoz and Robles agreed to carry out the homicide and divided responsibilities to execute it, taking advantage of a business meeting that the victim was holding with Robles and executives from a packaging company. The sentence details that on March 21, 2024, Robles made two bank transfers to Muñoz, totaling $2 million, which, according to the ruling, was used to finance the criminal operation. On the same day, around 2:00 PM, the victim met with Robles and another person at a Shell gas station located near Route 5 South in Mostazal. Simultaneously, two foreign hitmen were traveling from Santiago, hidden inside a Hyundai truck driven by Francisca Ortega Vásquez. The vehicle also carried the motorcycle that would later be used by the…

Between 2014 and 2015, Nelson Acosta completed his last stint as a coach. During those years, he managed Deportes Iquique, achieving 12 wins, 17 draws, and 16 losses. The 40.9% win rate he achieved with the "Dragones Celestes" was the lowest productivity of his career, despite a distinguished trajectory that included highlights such as qualifying for the 1998 World Cup in France, winning the bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics with the national team, national titles with Cobreloa (Apertura 2003 and Clausura 2004) and Everton (Apertura 2008), and the two-time championship in the Copa Chile with Unión Española in 1992 and 1993. Some believe that his time in the north marked the beginning of the complex health problems that the former coach would later face, receiving a difficult diagnosis two years later: Alzheimer's disease. "I worked with him as a coach in 2015. He didn't seem to be doing badly, but there were instances that were concerning. Once, he called us to a morning training session and didn't show up. We had to call him, and he asked us who had scheduled the meeting for that time. And it was him," recalls Mauricio Zenteno. One of his colleagues adds another anecdote: "There were times when he would give instructions to a player, thinking he was on the field, but the player was actually on the bench." The life of "Pelao," always eloquent, energetic, and emphatic in defending his positions, began to fade. In his last public appearances, he had noticeably lost the spark that characterized him. Even...
