translated from Spanish: They stop and fire Codelco’s manager who shouted that he was carrying a bomb at Calama airport

An alleged bomb threat alerted passengers and workers who were on Thursday night at Calama airport. The situation did not go any further, as it was a false warning. The guy who alerted about this fake explosive device was arrested: he was a senior Codelco executive.
The man was identified as Francisco Marín Aguilar, who is human resources manager of the gaby miner and who was going to take a plane bound for Santiago. According to Radio Biobío, the event was recorded after the mining executive passed the baggage checkpoint. Once that happened, he screamed that he was carrying a bomb.
This morning he will be brought to justice. While that happens, from the copper company they issued a statement, informing them that they immediately terminated the contract that linked Codelco with Marín Aguilar.
“Codelco reiterates its commitment to the values that govern it and to the attachment to them that must be had by trusted executives who lead and represent the company,” they say.
In that regard, they recalled the same argument they used to justify the nearly 200 layoffs that took place on Thursday, adding that “state copper power is driving an organizational transformation that allows it to continue contributing to the development of the country by 50 more years, so it undergoes a restructuring to adapt its professional profiles to the demands of its challenges. For the above, it is essential that the executives who lead this change on behalf of the Corporation, have the full confidence of the higher management, which is substantially based on the fulfillment of the values and principles that govern it.”
