Two Chilean women aged 25 and 26 were detained by Carabineros at Arturo Merino Benítez Airport after a complaint about fraudulent charges on a credit card used to buy tickets to Madrid.
The operation was carried out by the Sección de Investigación Policial following a complaint received on the morning of May 28, 2026. Investigators identified the suspects and confirmed both had a scheduled international flight to Madrid.
An operation led to their detention at the airport. Captain Dennis Wladdimiro, Oficial de Ronda Santiago Occidente, stated that “se logró la detención de dos mujeres por el delito de estafa a raíz de una denuncia recibida durante la mañana asociada a cargos fraudulentos por la compra de pasajes aéreos en un vuelo internacional”.
The women were handed over to the courts for a detention hearing.
