Interviewed on Mesa Central, on Channel 13, the General Director of Carabineros, Ricardo Yáñez, assured this morning that "I fully agree that Chile is the safest country in the region", coinciding with the assessment that, in that sense, the Prosecutor made. National, Angel Valencia, who last week said that “in numbers, Chile continues to be the safest country in Latin America.”

As Yáñez explained, “the latest homicide report shows that Chile is in last place. There are three countries that do not have figures or records, which are Argentina, Peru and Bolivia, which do not report their homicide records.”

Likewise, he indicated that “we have 4.6% homicides per one hundred thousand inhabitants. This cannot satisfy us, every time a person dies it is something extremely serious, but it shows that when we compare ourselves with the rest of the neighborhood - and not with the countries beyond the Atlantic -, our concern has to be with our neighbors to face together the problems that are attacking us.”

In the same sense, he admitted that "they are phenomena that we are not used to seeing, that are due to particular realities in other countries, where this type of events were perhaps common, that in some way have crossed the border and have gone away." installing in the countries.

 

 

They are modalities that were exported due to immigration, and with that I do not want to stigmatize the entire foreign po[CENSORED]tion, quite the contrary, they are more victims than perpetrators, but an important group comes to commit crimes, taking advantage of the fact that there are people who come to seek better quality of life,” he added.

Along these lines, he maintained that “these modalities from other countries are common. What we have to do is prevent them from being installed and for that there are capabilities, both Carabineros and PDI are highly professional. In 48 hours we were able to clarify two kidnappings that occurred in one weekend, which speaks of professional capacity. Obviously we have to continue perfecting our people and training to have better results.”

In this sense, he explained that only last week Carabineros made 2,700 arrests nationwide, highlighting the case of one of those arrested, who had more than 90 previous arrests.
