President Gabriel Boric surprised by announcing a constitutional reform transferring Gendarmería's security functions to the Ministry of Public Security, in response to Operation Apocalipsis that detained 44 gendarmes for prison corruption. The measure separates inmate custody from social reintegration, which will go to a new body under Justice. Authorities emphasize it aims to fight organized crime and clean the institution.
