Members of the Technical Investigation Team (CTI) of the Office of the Attorney General dismantled a criminal drug trafficking network in the departments of Caquetá, Huila, Tolima, Quindío and Bogotá.
During simultaneous search proceedings carried out in the towns of Melgar and Ibagué (Tolima), Armenia (Quindío) and Florencia (Caqueta), judicial officials captured six alleged members of the organization, including two women.
Investigative work initiated in September 2011, established that the gang had a logistics infrastructure which was coordinated from coca cultivation to distribution of cocaine in the aforementioned departments, by using the so-called human couriers and parts of motorcycles. They also packed the hallucinogenic substance in the so-called natural products.
In the operation, the authorities seized six cell phones, a laptop computer, a pack of bags for packing the narcotics, documentary evidence, 995 grams of cocaine and $5′ 000.000 in cash.
