The arrested person, known as ‘India Carolina’, allegedly followed the victims to commit the murders that, according to the investigations, were ordered by alias Gentil Duarte, the top ringleader of dissent in the east of the country.
The investigation and prosecution strategy designed according to the guidelines of the Attorney General, Francisco Barbosa Delgado to clarify acts that affect people in process of reincorporation, allowed the arrest and prosecution of Diana Campo Noscué, alias India Carolina, an alleged member of the Residual Organized Armed Group (Grupo Armado Organizado Residual Gaor) Jorge Briceño Suárez.
The Special Itinerant Group of the Office of the Attorney General, in a joint action with CTI, the National Police and the National Army, located this woman in the rural area La Julia, in La Uribe (Meta).
Alias India Carolina would have participated in the murder of the former Farc members in process of reincorporation Juan de Jesús Monroy Ayala, adviser on reincorporation process in Meta and leader of Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reincorporación (ETCR) La Pista; and Luis Alexánder Largo Gómez, an escort of the National Protection Unit (Unidad Nacional de Protección UNP), which took place on October 16 in the sector El Planchón del Guayabero, in the rural area of La Uribe.
The Office of the Attorney General has evidence that indicates that the defendant was ordered to follow the victims, learn about their movements and alert about the presence of the authorities. It is believed that ‘Gentil Duarte’, the top ringleader of the dissident in the eastern part of the country, ordered alias Urias Cotiz’s commission to carry out the murders.
The arrested woman was charged with aggravated murder with multiple concurrent crimes and aggravated trafficking, manufacture or possession of weapons for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces or explosives; and criminal conspiracy to commit a crime. She was sent to prison by a supervisory judge.
This result is added to the prosecution of Gustavo Reyes Bustos, who was arrested on November 15th where the murders took place. The evidence indicates that, he allegedly carried out surveillance and follow-ups. For these activities, he apparently received COP $ 300,000.
The arrest of ‘India Carolina’ is among the hard blows that the Special Itinerant Group has given to clarify crimes against human rights defenders, people in process of reincorporation and their families. Also the recent arrest of Ronal Arnulfo Torres Huertas, alias Álvaro Boyaco, alleged ringleader of one of the main commissions of the group Jorge Briceño Suárez, and Gentil Duarte’s trusted person.
In 2020, the Office of the Attorney General reports a 50.44% progress in the clarification of murders of people in process of reincorporation and family members, with 171 cases solved.
The Office of the Attorney General makes this information public for reasons of general interest.
