translated from Spanish: Pre-trial detention decree for defendants for attack on Peñalolén subcommittee

This Sunday, the 13th Guarantee Court decreed the pre-trial detention of seven adults and the temporary detention of two minors, for attacks on the Peñalolén subcommittee between August and October of this year. As detailed in the Judiciary’s Twitter account, the nine people are charged with crimes of unlawful association, release of incendiary artifacts, among others. On October 15, Carabineros reported the arrest of 10 people for constant attacks on the garrison, since the social outburst of October 18 last year. According to the uniformed police, these people organized the crimes on a permanent and constant basis, at different dates. The Managing General of Carabineros, Mario Rozas, commented on this, saying that “attacking a Carabineros barracks is attacking the community. Peñalolén’s subcommittee has been repeatedly attacked in time.” People who organized themselves to attack the carabinieri uniquely and exclusively and thus the community, we want our barracks to be a meeting point for the community, so today I would like to congratulate the Carabinieri working in these investigative units and the Prosecutor’s Office the trust they placed in us,” he said. Detainees will remain in pre-trial detention for 120 days, the duration of the investigation.
