Based on videos and testimonies of Criminal Investigation Team (CTI) officers in Cauca, the Office of the Attorney General will open an investigation into people who conducted a riot against judicial police officers who arrested an individual in Pitalito rural settlement in “El Patía” (Cauca) by virtue of an arrest warrant.
The incident took place after home search was conducted and the alleged member of the ELN´s José María Becerra Front was arrested. The community closed the area preventing CTI officers from leaving the place, being in control of the situation and releasing the arrested person. They also took possession of the evidentiary material which was seized by investigators from the National Prosecutor´s Office specialized in Organized Crime (Dirección Nacional de Fiscalía Especializada contra el Crimen Organizado).
