Camilo Huerta detained in Chilean drug trafficking investigation

Camilo Huerta has been detained at Santiago Airport as part of ‘Operación Amsterdam’, a police investigation into alleged drug trafficking and money laundering. The operation, involving the OS-7 unit of Carabineros, targets a suspected permanent criminal association operating under the guise of a legal therapeutic model.

Investigators are examining DN Medcorp SpA and its connection to a cannabis dispensary in Chicureo. Police reports indicate that approximately $51,266,785 was transferred from DN Medcorp SpA to Grünwald SpA, which is allegedly being used as a corporate vehicle to receive assets from drug trafficking. Leaked telephone intercepts suggest Huerta discussed cannabis stock and strategies to evade police inspections at locations lacking proper permits.

Public reaction has been significant, with media figures debating the involvement of Huerta’s partner, Paula Pavic. Pavic expressed mental exhaustion on social media following the developments, while other commentators have questioned the awareness of those close to the investigation.
