Amílcar Olivares Cárdenas, 46, escaped from the Colina II Penitentiary Center on Sunday afternoon. The man charged with robbery with intimidation bypassed the high-security facility's controls, triggering a joint search operation by Gendarmería, Carabineros, and the PDI. Authorities acknowledge protocol breaches and will examine why his monitoring was not intensified despite a prior escape in 2009.
