A court extended the detention of 18 suspects arrested in the 'Rey David' operation, an investigation by the Fiscalía Metropolitana Sur and PDI into money laundering linked to drug trafficking and other crimes. The arrests followed raids on 26 homes across various regions of Chile. The case is under 10-day secrecy.
The Policía de Investigaciones (PDI) and Fiscalía Metropolitana Sur raided 26 homes in various regions of the country as part of the 'Rey David' operation. This led to the arrest of 18 people charged with money laundering linked to drug trafficking and other crimes.
In the detention control hearing, the Fiscalía Sur requested and obtained an extension until Wednesday, April 29, at 10 a.m. Among those initially arrested was communicator Francisco Kaminski, in whose Las Condes apartment marijuana was found, though he was later released.
Fiscal Milibor Bugueño, head of the High Complexity Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime and Criminal Analysis, confirmed the extension. "The detention of the 18 suspects was extended until tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10 a.m., in the case involving various crimes, including money laundering," Bugueño detailed.
Since Tuesday, April 28, the case has been under 10-day secrecy to protect pending investigations, limiting public details.
