Organized Crime Report 2025: Kidnappings Surge While Homicides Decline in Chile

The Organized Crime Report 2025 reveals a troubling surge in "Kidnapping" incidents and a decline in "Homicide" rates in Chile, highlighting the escalating threat of "Organized crime" and the "Illegal drug trade."

• The Organized Crime Report 2025, released by La Fiscalía Nacional, indicates a significant rise in "Kidnapping" cases across Chile, particularly in the North and Central regions.
• The report emphasizes the increasing sophistication of criminal groups, particularly in the "Illegal drug trade" and their infiltration into local economies, as well as a rise in "Extortion" activities.
• While "Homicide" rates have declined, the rise in other forms of "Delict," including "Human trafficking," underscores the evolving nature of crime in Chile.
