The undersecretary of the Interior, Juan Francisco Galli, referred this morning to the arrest of a Navy officer in the midst of the disorders that occurred in Santiago for the first anniversary of October 18.
As reported by the institution, it is a corporal from the staff of the Concón Air Naval Base, who was on his day off duty.
Although on Sunday it emerged that the uniformed man had been arrested for the fire in the Carabineros Church, this was ruled out by Galli.
The authority indicated that the individual was arrested along with other people at around 4:00 p.m., carrying out barricades in the vicinity of the religious compound, but before the fire.
“He was arrested when barricades were being carried out near the Carabineros Church, but the events had not yet occurred that ended with the burning of that church, “he said.
The uniformed man was identified as the 31-year-old EOL Second Corporal, who will be formalized by the Anti-Barrier Law. In the formalization hearing, it was prohibited to disclose his name and face.
Along with this, Galli ruled out that the uniformed they did not want to avoid that the church was attacked and later burned.
“To even suggest that they did not want to defend that church, I think it offends those people who put their lives to protect public order and to defend people’s rights, “he said.
