Bank employee arrested in Santiago over alleged money laundering
Chilean agents detained a worker at a Banco Santander office in central Santiago, accused of collaborating in the laundering of funds from criminal activities. The subject, born in Venezuela, allegedly used his role in the institution to move and orchestrate complex monetary operations with resources obtained through crimes.
The arrest formed part of a large-scale intervention coordinated between the PDI, the Public Prosecutor's Office and Gendarmería. The action encompassed various zones across the country, including the central zone, the sixth region and the southern zone, as well as three prison facilities, according to what was published by Prensa Latina.
Official sources indicated that segments of the Tren de Aragua, an international criminal gang, were dismantled. These sectors would allegedly be involved in laundering money of illicit origin, human exploitation and illegal vehicle trafficking.
The financial institution, headquartered in Spain, issued a statement confirming its full collaboration with the requirements of the competent authorities. It also stated that, out of respect for procedural guarantees and to avoid hindering investigations, it would refrain from making further comments on the details of the case.
