santiago - The Chilean police have invaded the offices of two archbishops in the investigation into sexual abuse by Catholic clergymen in the country. The raids were made in the cities Temuco and Villarrica, south of the capital Santiago, in the Araucania region.

Five priests from the region are suspect in the investigation into sexual abuse. Agents had the order to confiscate all documents that might have to do with the abuse.

Since Pope Francis visited Chile in January, more and more accusations of sexual abuse have come out in the country.

In May, all 34 Chilean bishops served in their resignation with the Pope. The dismissal was accepted from five bishops.
