The Office of the Attorney General is investigating the defendant for his alleged participation in at least 12 criminal acts.
The Office of the Attorney General brought Erick Santiago Sánchez Mayunga before a judge since he is an alleged member of the criminal group known as Los Ágredo, a network accused of committing multiple violent robberies in Cali (Valle del Cauca).
According to the investigation, the defendant, along with other members of the illegal network, carried out their criminal activities in Montebello and Golondrinas sectors and other areas of the city.
Minors were allegedly used for the commission of crimes as well as motorcycles to approach victims who were forced to hand over their belongings while intimidated with firearms. There is evidence that links the defendant and other alleged members of Los Agredo to at least 12 criminal acts.
Sánchez Mayunga was arrested on January 24 by the National Police, in compliance with a judicial order. The judge sent the defendant to prison.
A prosecutor appointed to the branch office in Cali (Seccional Cali) charged the defendant with conspiracy to commit a crime, aggravated and qualified robbery, and the use of minors for the commission of crimes.
For the same facts, last December, five other alleged members of the same criminal group were prosecuted, and they are currently in prison.
