Chinese siblings, Mingkai and Mingxia Fu, were held hostage in Santiago, Chile, by a group posing as Chilean and American FBI agents. The siblings were taken to a fake police station, threatened with arrest, and demanded to pay a ransom of 3 billion Chilean pesos (approx. USD 4 million) to avoid prosecution. They paid 30 million Chilean pesos (approx. USD 60,000) before being released. The case has led to multiple arrests, including former prosecutor Vinko Fodich and several active and former PDI officers.
