Alias Cecilia and alias None, alleged members of a residual group responsible for committing murders and other criminal actions in the east of the country were sent to prison

They are under an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General for criminal conspiracy and aggravated murder.

Thanks to the investigations and the evidence collected by the Office of the Attorney General, Yolanda González García, alias Cecilia; and Yonnier Emilio Pinzón Mogollón, alias None, alleged members of the Armed Group (Grupo Armado Organizado Residual Gaor) known as the 10th Martín Villa front, were brought before the court.

The technical evidence that was obtained indicates that these people played an active role in the criminal organization and gave instructions through phone calls and messages about committing illegal activities in Arauca and other areas in the eastern area of the country.

These communications show that alias Cecilia had established fees to merchants to allow them to take their products out of the region and asked them to transfer their lands to support the organization. The resources obtained were reported to Ferley González, the alleged leader of the residual structure who used the resources to finance attacks against the civilian population, the infrastructure, and the public force.

Conversations between ‘Cecilia’ and ‘None’ also demonstrate the illegal participation in the elections of local and regional leaders which took place in October 2019. In some conversations, they talked about why the ELN made incursions in several municipalities of Arauca.

Part of this evidence was presented by the prosecutor of the case in the hearings to demonstrate the level of danger to the population posed by the defendants who would also be involved in selective killings.
