An inspection of hotels in Chile's Metropolitan Region has uncovered irregular migrant workers and led to the arrest of a Chilean national with outstanding warrants for child sexual exploitation. The operation, conducted by the National Migration Service with technical support from the Investigations Police (PDI), aimed to verify the immigration status of hotel employees.

The discovery highlights ongoing concerns regarding irregular migration and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
