In a speech he delivered at the end of the activities, Valenzuela thanked the assembly for giving Chile the opportunity to be the next Interpol session venue.
“In Santiago de Chile we will have the honor of organizing the 88th Interpol General Assembly. This world-class event will test our technical and human capabilities, “said the detective.
In recent months, Chile has been the victim of various cyber attacks, which included the filtering of customer data from banking institutions and millions of frauds. Given this, the Government presented a cybersecurity plan, which aims to update the regulations that regulate this type of crime.
