One day after the frustrated assault that took place at the Santiago Airport premises, and which left two dead, the Government of President Gabriel Boric admitted that “procedures” should be “strengthened” at the facility.
The information was delivered by the Undersecretary for Crime Prevention, Eduardo Vergara, who stated that “we must have the capacity as a country to, at all times, reinforce existing procedures” in those places.

“Security, we well know, is a subject that is in constant and permanent evaluation, and neither the public nor the private sector can skimp on expenses to guarantee the safety of people, as well as of the environments,” Vergara commented.
It should be remembered that during the day last Wednesday, a group of 12 heavily armed individuals entered the airport premises to steal more than $25 billion. The criminals reached a plane from Miami that had arrived with million-dollar remittances.
It was at that moment that a shooting began that left two dead: one of the criminals and an official from the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), who was also a firefighter and who was later identified as Claudio Villar Rodríguez.
