The constitutional charge must be set in motion by the Chamber of Deputies -- the lower house of Chile's parliament -- and later reviewed by the Senate.The opposition's move comes weeks before the presidential election scheduled for November 21.The Pandora Papers, published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists on October 3, allege that over 35 current and former world leaders, and about 400 officials from more than 100 countries, have been involved in offshore schemes and tax evasion.
