The recent arrests of numerous military and police figures, as well as press reports on the incident, have prompted the Association of the Industrial Free Zone of Santiago to publish a statement in today’s newspapers. The association wants to know the name of the “business in a Santiago Free Zone” that was published as part of the story on the discovery of 1,300 kilos of cocaine, and purportedly on its way to the un-named site for “processing” and shipment to the US. The Free Zone Association is asking the authorities to remove the uncertainty as to which company they referred to in order not to tarnish the good names of all of the other industries in the industrial park. In another part of the Listin Diario, journalist Felix Parra reports that the executive secretary of the association, Josefina Hernandez, issued the statement because those who may be implicated should be brought to the full extent of the law. Parra also reports that other business organizations in Santiago, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial and Merchant Association and the Industrial Association-Northern Region, have joined forces with the free zone groups to demand that the confusion be cleared up. All of the corporate entities pledged their full cooperation in every way possible to resolve the case.
