Authorities in Chile are conducting an intense search following the escape of dangerous inmates from the Valparaíso prison, where prisoners reportedly fled by sliding down a cable to the street. The incident has prompted a national and international alert, with the implementation of a "Plan Candado" to locate the fugitives. Investigations have also been launched into a judge accused of releasing drug traffickers and kidnappers. In related criminal developments, ten individuals have been formalized for the kidnapping of a businessman in Quilicura, with four more recently detained and placed in preventive custody. Meanwhile, Colombian authorities, in coordination with Chilean Interpol and Carabineros, captured Alberto Carlos Mejía Hernández, a Venezuelan hitman linked to the "Rey de Meiggs" criminal network and one of the most wanted members of the Tren de Aragua gang in Chile. Mejía was detained in Barrancabermeja, Santander, Colombia, after escaping Chile and was subsequently transferred to Bogotá pending extradition, which Chilean officials estimate could take several months. The case has been described as "extremely serious" by Chile's Minister Cordero. Additionally, three Chilean army corporals and a civilian were arrested and placed in preventive detention for drug trafficking in Puerto Aysén. The security crisis has sparked political debate, with figures such as Diego Schalper of Renovación Nacional expressing public frustration over recurring prison security failures. In the political arena, a Criteria poll shows Jeannette Jara and José Antonio Kast leading presidential preferences, with Jara potentially losing in a second-round runoff against Kast or Evelyn Matthei. Communist Party deputy Karol Cariola emphasized Jara's leadership autonomy and adaptability in her campaign. The fugitive inmate crisis and the capture of Mejía have intensified concerns over organized crime and public safety in Chile.
