CHILE: New magistrate makes waves
The newly appointed investigating magistrate for eastern Santiago,
Alejandro Peña, wants to show that he is making progress in the investigation of
100 or so bombings in the city since 2006. He took over in June, after the
interior minister, Rodrigo Hinzpeter, made some pretty pointed comments about
his predecessor. So far, Peña has arrested one alleged bomb maker, Roberto
Gajardo, and on 8 August claimed that an Italian, Matteo Rossi, had sent money
to Chilean anarchists, who appear to be in league with Mapuche militants, via
the Cayman Islands.
