Regarding the investigation that allowed us to find the leaders of Los Chanekes, it began several years ago. In 2020 A raid was carried out at a drug sales point in an apartment located in the town of Nueva Lo Valledor.
After that, new operations were carried out against said criminal gang in 2021, 2022, 2023 y 2024.
Regarding the modus operandi of Los Chanekes, Deputy Commissioner Camilo Cayuela of the Bicrim José Mario Caro, explained that the leaders of the organization were no longer selling in the place where they live nor were they the ones who sold.
In this way, he commented that “They had subjects dedicated to carrying out each operation, such as the sale, the transfer of the drug and the dosage. With this, these subjects went unpunished from any raid or police intervention.”
In that sense, Deputy Commissioner Cayuela compared the operation of the gang to a company, since “they maintained an order, a structure and established functions.”
“They used properties conditioned for the sale of drugs (…) the homes were empty and their accesses were reinforced. “They were only occupied in shifts by these people who sold drugs,” he detailed.
After being formalized in the 10th Guarantee Court of Santiago, the eleven people who were detained in the operations They were remanded in preventive detention.
