Ex-Chilean prosecutor arrested in extortion-kidnapping case linked to organized crime

Former Chilean prosecutor Vinko Fodich Andrade was detained in an extortive kidnapping case involving PDI officials, adding to prior scrutiny over a money-laundering scheme tied to a currency exchange house he co-owns. As a private lawyer, he represents a Clan Chen leader, deepening his entanglement with organized crime. The case signals potential corruption within Chile's judicial and police institutions, though details remain emerging.
