• Six people, including the alleged leader, his partner, and a brother-in-law, were arrested in the joint operation carried out in Bogotá and San José del Guaviare. 

  • The structure would be at the service of the 1st residual group. 

The Office of the Attorney General, through the Special Directorate against Drug Trafficking and the CTI, in conjunction with the National Army, dismantled a transnational organization involved in trafficking drugs to North America and Europe, which would have connection with the Organized Armed Groups (Gaor) from the east of the country. 

In simultaneous search warrants carried out in Bogotá and San José del Guaviare (Guaviare), six alleged members of the criminal network were arrested. Among the people arrested were:  alias Mollejita, the alleged leader; his sentimental partner and a brother-in-law, who would be the people who helped him to support the illegal sell of synthetic drugs and cocaine hydrochloride. 

Moreover, it was possible to establish that the structure produced and collected the narcotics on farms located in the rural area El Caracol, in San José del Guaviare. From this area, it coordinated shipments to the main city of the country to be later hidden in different types of merchandise, mainly folder covers and other stationery items to be sent to the United States and European countries. 

After one year of investigations, 50 kilograms of cocaine and 100,000 doses of LSD were seized. 

A prosecutor from the Special Directorate against Drug Trafficking brought 5 people before a supervisory judge who charged them with aggravated trafficking, manufacture, or possession of drugs. Given the conclusive evidence presented, a supervisory judge imposed a prison sentence. 

People involved are: 

  • Renso Villamil Espitia, alias Mollejita, alleged leader of the network. This person would have used his knowledge of chemistry to plan new forms to hide and modify drugs to evade the controls of the authorities. 
  • Genith Cecilia Sánchez Escárraga, alias Omitido, alias Mollejita’s sentimental partner. She was allegedly in charge of the logistics and to communicate the instructions to other members. 
  • Ronal Mauricio Real Escárraga, alias Burro Ciego, Genith Cecilia´s brother. He allegedly coordinated the transportation of illegal substances at national level. The Office of the Attorney General charged this person with criminal conspiracy. 
  • Orlando Sánchez Sánchez, alias Princesa or el Zarco. Apparently, he was one of the drugs transporters and the person in charge of contacting people to guarantee deliveries in different cities. 
  • José Miguel Silva Gómez, alias Picardías or Micky. The evidence shows that he used to ‘keep watch’, that is, he alerted about the presence of the public force to evade the controls. 
  • César Augusto Moreno Coronado, alias Boyaco. He was allegedly in charge of the production and processing illegal substances in Guaviare.

This result affects the dissident groups’ illegal sources of financing, that commit crimes in the eastern part of the country, and it represents an important advance in the fulfillment of one of the objectives set by the Attorney General, Francisco Barbosa Delgado, to comprehensively prosecute these organized criminal structures. 

The Office of the Attorney General makes this information public for reasons of general interest.
