Three individuals were detained for placing a simulated explosive device outside the home of columnist and sociologist Fernando Villegas in Ñuñoa, Santiago, on April 19. The suspects faced less severe precautionary measures after investigations by the Metropolitan South Prosecutor's Office and Carabineros. During searches of multiple residences, authorities discovered materials related to explosives, including black powder, detonation cords, metal fragments, and 64 ballistic cartridges. A fourth person was arrested for possession of drugs and firearms during a search. The case involved threats against Villegas attributed to the group 'Frente Rebelde.'
