=== Theft in a supermarket ===
In January of 2005 19 years old Boric was caught by guards stealing [[alcohol]] at the "Líder" supermarket located on Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva Avenue in Punta Arenas.

The Public Defender's Office (DPP) explains on its website that the principle of opportunity is used when the prosecutor in charge decides not to proceed with the investigation because "the acts denounced do not seriously compromise the public interest and certain legal requirements regarding the penalty are met".
According to Rafael Corvalán Pazols, the judge who decided to close the case of simple theft against Boric, the complainants could express their intention to continue "with the criminal prosecution, having 10 days to do so", which was not done.
