Subsequently, Letelier was arrested and taken to the 51st Police Station of Pedro Aguirre Cerda. There he was placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor's Office while the respective investigations are carried out.
A judge resolved to extend the detention period until Monday at 4 pm. The hearing for the formal investigation on rape charges will be held on the same day.
