Chile battles corruption as authorities confront organised crime

Chile, long considered one of South America’s least corrupt nations, is facing a troubling challenge. Revelations suggest that members of the country’s armed forces may be linked to drug trafficking, sparking fears that organised crime could be gaining influence. Authorities are stepping up efforts to combat corruption and prevent criminal networks from taking hold.

Al Jazeera’s Latin America editor Lucia Newman reports from Iquique in northern Chile.
