This week has been particularly challenging for uniformed police in Chile. In addition to the six officers implicated in Talca, eight officers were arrested in Atacama for forgery; two officers in Valdivia for belonging to a criminal group involved in trafficking seafood; and five prison guards in Coquimbo for drug trafficking, as outlined by former prosecutor Carlos Gajardo on his X social media account. "Minister Arrau, this is of utmost priority!" wrote the former prosecutor.
