These are nine properties located in Bogotá, and municipalities in Norte de Santander and Cundinamarca, which would exceed 1,200 million COP.
The Attorney General’s Office detected assets that would belong to a drug trafficking network, which was allegedly at the service of Víctor Ramón Navarro Serrano, alias Megateo, the deceased leader of the criminal organization ‘Los Pelusos’.
Investigative work revealed nine properties including an apartment, a parking lot, a house, two farms, two companies and two vehicles, which were allegedly purchased with funds derived from the shipment of cocaine to international destinations between 2003 and 2011.
The properties that were preliminarily valued at 1.200 million COP, would be in the name of three of the alleged leaders of the criminal organization, who are in charge of coordinating the departure of drug shipments from Colombia to Panama and the Dominican Republic, destined for the United States.
Given the evidence about the illicit origin of the assets, a prosecutor appointed to the Directorate on Assets Forfeiture imposed precautionary measures such as suspension of power to alienate a property and a seizure process on properties that were carried out by Dijin of the National Police in Bogotá, and in the municipalities of Norte de Santander and Cundinamarca.
The properties will be at the disposal of the so-called Sociedad de Activos Especiales – SAE (Special Assets Society).
