"I mean people who are dedicated to this that are quite exhausted citizens of Valparaiso." The phrase of Mayor Jorge Castro plots the desperation of the authority with the proliferation of graffiti on public property and buildings of Valparaiso, a world heritage site since 2003.
The seriousness of the situation led to the regional prosecutor's office, the municipality, police and PDI agree a joint strategy to identify and arrest those who scratch, without any artistic direction or authorization, Buenos Aires property.
So far the prosecution has made little to curb the problem. Since 2008, the municipality has filed about 40 complaints of scratched to heritage buildings and destruction of public infrastructure in Valparaiso.
The last two years this has cost the district nearly $ 500 million in repairs and repainting of buildings.
For the attorney representing the municipality in these cases, the city attorney Wladimir Mondaca, legislation is needed to apply penalties that go beyond a fine for those who destroy the heritage of Valparaiso.
"Today is the same scratch a modern one in 1850, which belongs to a world heritage city, 'criticizes.

The strategy agreed between the police, the Public Ministry and the municipality aims to use similar systems those operating to capture drug traffickers and criminals of various kinds: identify groups, times, dates and common elements of graffiti, as well as pursue "on site".
This system will start operating in Puerto barrios, Almendral , the Old Town and other areas of high heritage value of Valparaiso.
zonal chief of the PDI, prefect inspector Gilberto Loch, It said that to have a multidisciplinary team of staff, including teachers include art, language and handwriting experts to analyze the graffiti to identify those responsible.
"These stripes have different motivations, cultural expressions, even messages from criminal groups. There is also graffiti university, members of anarchist groups and urban tribes," he adds.
But to identify and catch the perpetrators of the stripes is complex, says the Deputy Commissioner Javier Rivera, of the Brigade Investigating Crimes Against the Environment of the Metropolitan PDI, which will support the locals detectives.
cameras are not always in places where they operate and the witnesses did not identify them. Another element that makes it difficult to act is its speed. "In three minutes, complete scratch the facade of a building," said Rivera.
A key element will be the prosecution of taggers. Therefore, says the regional prosecutor, Pablo Gomez, established a single performance criterion is that the municipality will become part of such lawsuits, and that the sanction incorporate the repair of damage by their authors.
The issue concerned both the municipality and the private sector. For Enzo Frioli, manager of Emporio La Rosa, located in the former Café Riquet, the striped facade commercial premises "is a clear disincentive to those who have invested in Valparaiso."
This building, recently renovated, has been a constant target of scratches. The same is the town hall and the British Arc Avenue Brazil, repainted more than 20 times. One of the most troubling is the Open Air Museum of Cerro Bellavista, which has 20 murals of artists like Roberto Matta. 3 MINUTES
