Juan Flores is serving a sentence of 23 years, having been convicted by the
Chilean state for incendiary attacks in 2014 claimed by the Conspiracy Cells of
Fire & International Conspiracy of Revenge. On July 23, 2014 a CCF cell bombed
“The Dominicans” station of the Santiago Metro, and on September 8, 2014 a
shopping mall in Las Condes. In both instances, measures were taken to ensure
the bombs would not hurt anyone, but in the former a bag containing the bomb
was moved by a Metro employee, and in the latter the police ignored a warning
call the CCF cell made
10 minutes before the bomb was set to go off. As a result, the attacks ended
up injuring people, so the Chilean state was able to claim they were meant to
terrorize the population, and used an anti-terrorism law to obtain maximum
sentencing on March 15, 2018 after proclaiming Juan guilty of both attacks. Two
other comrades, Nataly Casanova and Enrique Guzman, were initially charged
alongside Juan, but after over three years of imprisonment and criminal
proceedings were found not guilty on all counts.
