The crimes charged against those persons are the laundering of assets derived from drug trafficking, sponsorship of drug trafficking, arms trafficking, and identity usurpation within the structure of organized crime.

According to the Attorney’s Office, the accusatory document contains more than 3,000 pieces of evidence, including materials, documents, and expert and testimonial elements.

Osvaldo Bonilla, a prosecutor of the Santiago office, highlighted the solidity of the accusation and trusted that the courts would bring the weight of the law to bear on those responsible for engaging in criminal activities of organized crime.

The Attorney’s Office also requested the confiscation of more than 150 personal and real estate properties, including villas, apartments, and land and fuel stations, seized from the criminal organization through inter-agency interventions.

The dismantling of the criminal network took place last year following an investigation that lasted several months.
