El Rana faces formalization for the crime of the carabinero Marcos Cosme: The prosecution asks for preventive prison and details of the attack

Carlos Esteban Cancino Tapia, known as 'El Rana,' has been formally charged by Chile's Los Ríos Regional Prosecutor's Office for his alleged involvement in the murder of Carabinero officer Marcos Javier Cosme Barquero. Cancino is currently held in preventive detention and faces charges including three counts of homicide against police officers, two of which were attempted and one completed, along with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. The prosecution detailed how Cancino attacked police officers who arrived at his residence in Valdivia to execute his arrest in connection with the Nain case.

During the raid, Cancino fired at least two shots at Cosme before turning on other officers, and later tried to flee but was subdued by police.
