Extradition and infiltration: double judicial blow in Chile
According to Google News CL — Crime, the formal extradition process has begun from the United States for two Venezuelan citizens accused in the framework of the so-called "Operation Tokyo", an investigation pointing to a criminal organisation active in Chile.
In parallel, a court official was detained for allegedly leaking sensitive information to members of a criminal gang, which represents a serious alert regarding the integrity of the judicial system in cases of organised crime.
The detention of the official highlights the risks of infiltration within judicial bodies when high-profile cases linked to criminal organisations are being processed. The authorities have not provided further details about the identity of the detainee or the gang that benefited from the information.
Meanwhile, the extradition process for the two Venezuelans must follow the diplomatic and legal channels between Chile and the United States before both defendants can be transferred to the country to face Chilean justice in the framework of "Operation Tokyo".
The information was published by CIPER Chile, an investigative journalism outlet that has followed closely the progress of this case.
