00:00In the country we had not had successful operations referring to this substance, the methamphetamine,
00:25of this magnitude.
00:26This is the largest seizure of this type of drug that we have had in Chile.
00:32And it is given in a context in which, by police officers last year,
00:36there were record numbers of drug seizures compared to all previous years.
00:40And that, in this case, means very specifically that this attempt of this Mexican group
00:45to take advantage of our country, of our institutions, of our territory for their business,
00:49has been frustrated.
00:51And we hope that this is also a signal for many other groups
00:54that in Chile we are more and more prepared, we have more tools,
00:58we have capacities of great magnitude to face this attempt of organized crime
01:04to occupy our territory for their agendas and their businesses.
