But when he raised taxes in 2010, he took the proceeds from the sales of Colo Colo, Chilevisión and LAN Airlines, three quarters of his wealth, to tax havens abroad. Taxes went up for others, but not for him. This only became known as a result of the lawsuit filed by the communist deputy Hugo Gutiérrez for incompatible negotiation, since Piñera had bought shares of the [[Peruvian]] company "Exalmar" when that country was litigating with Chile in The International Court located in [[The Hague]] to obtain more surface of the exclusive maritime zone. In 2011 the famous television presenter and actor, Felipe Camiroaga, and other television personalities died tragically on a plane accident in the Juan Fernández Archipelago.

Once elected, he did the opposite of what he had promised: he tripled the number of lawsuits (a thousand more) against the military, whose number of prisoners reached more than 200, filling [[Punta Peuco Jail]]. And he declared that the supporters [[Augusto Pinochet regime (Chile, 1973–90)|of the Junta Regime]] (with whose votes he had reached [[La Moneda]]) were "passive accomplices" of "human rights abuses" and "crimes against humanity". He hired dozens of leftist lawyers in the Ministry of the Interior to better prosecute the uniformed officers and to sponsor appeals before the Supreme Court to increase their sentences, when in the first instance and appeals they had been low or had been remitted and the leftist plaintiffs themselves had been satisfied. In this way he made possible millionaire compensations at the expense of the Treasury. Never had the human rights lawyers won as much as under Piñera.

Since at the end of his mandate he was low in the polls (because he was always caught, and he had been denounced in several obscure situations) he decided to transfer the generals who were imprisoned in the "Cordillera Jail" to the Punta Peuco penitentiary. A gift for the most hateful left. The most pundit of the unjustly imprisoned generals, Odlanier Mena, innocent, of course, and terminally ill, opted for suicide. And with that vile publicity stunt and the communist applause (guaranteed after he allowed the hammer and sickle emblem to be hung on the portico of "Cordillera" on the night of the publicized transfer), he rebounded in the polls and reached the 50% he longed for. The then still communist Javiera Parada recited eclogues of homage to Piñera.
