According to a report prepared by the Carabineros, of a total of 369 detained between October 18, 2019 and September 15, 2020 for the carrying and use of Molotov cocktails, there are only two convicted.

According to what was published by La Tercera, the analysis shows that “among the 369 detained for the use, carrying and / or manufacture of incendiary devices nationwide, there are two subjects who to date are convicted in a Penitentiary Center” .

56% of the detainees are between 18 and 25 years old, and 26% are minors. Of the total number of people arrested, 53% have no police record.

In this regard, General Esteban Díaz explained that “a tremendous effort has been made by the specialized teams of the Carabineros and the prosecution, incorporating evidence and antecedents that are beginning to give results. We trust that this will continue to be developed in the criminal court, since we understand that everything has slowed down as a result of the pandemic. “

Convictions for Molotov

Regarding the cases, the first has to do with the sentence to five years and one day in prison of Francisco Hernández, who was sentenced for throwing five Molotov cocktails against police personnel, on December 19 in Plaza Italia.

The same media also assures that the second corresponds to the conviction of Alejandro Carvajal, who was found guilty of the crime of frustrated arson in the large house that housed the Pedro de Valdivia University, on November 8. He was sentenced to three years of probation.
