Rancagua

The curfew - from Monday evening until 06:00 on Tuesday morning - was in place in Santiago, Valparaíso, Rancagua and Concepción provinces.

Prosecutors also searched offices in Rancagua and Santiago, where they checked on the personal desk of Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati, the most powerful church leader in Chile.

The brute force of the O-line was reminiscent of the cavalry charge in the Battle of Rancagua.

Police have raided offices and seized Church documents in the capital Santiago and the city of Rancagua as part of their investigation.

Television images showed Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati arriving to the prosecutor’s office Wednesday in the city of Rancagua.
