At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, a supervisory judge in Bogotá issued a prison sentence against two men and a woman accused of being part of the criminal gang known as ‘La Invasión’ involved in the illegal sale of lands.
According to the investigations, this criminal organization offered lots, which did not belong to the members, in areas that were not protected by the district administration or recognized for the development of urban activities.
