Pablo Andrés Gómez Niada is a Chilean lawyer who served as a prosecutor of the Soquimich (SQM) mega-corruption case from 2015 to 2018.^[3]

In 2015, he was appointed by Jorge Abbott as a prosecutor of the SQM case.^[4] ^[5] For some lawyers, as the current constituent Mauricio Daza said in 2015, his appointment was a fierce mistake due to 'his lack of experience in bribery offenses'^[6] and also for his 'historical link with the former president Sebastián Piñera'^[6] (due to his marriage with Patricia Pérez Goldberg, former minister of Piñera).^[6]

During the 2019–2020 Chilean protests ―the Social Outbreak ('Estallido Social')― under Piñera's second government (2018−2022), Gómez was an adviser of the Ministry of the Interior.^[7]
