Kast questions legal challenge to Cerberus plan transfers
Justice Minister Luis Kast expressed his displeasure at the legal challenge presented against the transfers of inmates linked to organised crime, an operation carried out as part of the so-called Cerberus plan, according to Google News CL — Crime.
"We transferred organised crime and they filed a legal challenge against us," Kast declared, highlighting the tension between the prison security measures promoted by the government and the legal actions challenging them.
The Cerberus plan is part of the official strategy to dismantle criminal networks operating from within prison facilities, through the transfer of inmates considered highly dangerous to higher-security establishments.
The filing of the legal challenge represents a setback for the implementation of this policy, sparking a debate over the legal limits of the exceptional prison measures adopted by Chilean authorities.
