At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, a judge imposed a prison sentence against José David Gutiérrez Tovar, allegedly involved in extortions committed against a merchant in Villanueva (Casanare).
Due to these facts, the man was arrested on January 20 when he, apparently, received a sum of money that he had previously demanded from the victim for not killing him. The arrest was carried out by Gaula-National Police.
The Prosecutor’s Office charged Gutiérrez Tovar with aggravated extortion but he did not plead guilty.
The Office of the Attorney General makes this information public for reasons of general interest.
