A prosecutor from the Specialized Directorate against Criminal Organizations brought Luis Angel Rangel Estrada, alias Piter, before a judge. He is an alleged member of the Uldar Cardona Rueda substructure of the so-called ‘Clan del Golfo’, which is considered as the responsible for the commission of criminal acts in the municipalities of the Bajo Cauca region in Antioquia.
This person would be one of the main coordinators of an armed confrontation of the illegal group with other criminal networks for the control of illegal incomes in the region. In this regard, he would be involved in a kidnapping and two selective murders that occurred last year.
