The 17th<\/sup> Prosecutor of the Anti-Narcotics Unit and Maritime Interdiction (Unaim) has requested conviction against alleged front men of Daniel Barrera Barrera, alias \u201cEl Loco Barrera\u201d.<\/p>\n

The request was made before the eighth special Court of the circuit in Bogot\u00e1 during an oral hearing conducted against the defendants for conspiracy to commit drug trafficking, money laundering and illicit enrichment.<\/p>\n

The defendants are Nemesio Ayala, alias El Loco Barrera\u00b4s brother-in-law, and his son Nemesio Ayala Barrera; Oscar Richard Martinez Arango, Oscar Alberto Rincon Diaz, Ruby Yiceth Ayala Barrera, Oscar Jerez Pineda, Germ\u00e1n Quiroga Velasco, Jaime Jerez Galeano, distinguished as the main Barrera\u2019s figurehead,\u00a0 and Constanza C\u00e1rdenas Duarte.<\/p>\n

During her speaking, the Prosecutor mentioned how was determined the presence of an illegal group dedicated to drug trafficking and led by Daniel Barrera Barrera through authorized wire taps and several testimonies.<\/p>\n

At the same time, during the trial conducted against the eight alleged front men, she narrated how one of the witnesses who had retracted his\/her initial statement would have fallen into inconsistencies. Issue that would prove that he\/she would have been influenced by the Defense and his\/her relatives.<\/p>\n

She also explained that during the testimony of Ana Silvia Barrera, Daniel Barrera Barrera\u00b4s mother, she denied the existence of one of his sons named Arnoldo Barrera Barrera, who suffers a mental disability, since this last name was taken by alias \u201cEl Loco Barrera\u201d to carry out transactions of \u201cArbal Ganadera\u201d, one of the companies with which the defendants kept negotiations.<\/p>\n

She recalled that in one of the searches, it was found several guides that would demonstrate the existence of \u201cArbal Ganadera\u201d and the transactions between this company and \u201cFrigor\u00edfico Guadalupe\u201d which belong to \u00d3scar Richard Mart\u00ednez, and also she highlighted within the evidence, the presence of a CD with information about millionaire transactions carried out by Nemesio Ayala. Fact that warned \u201cUiaf\u201d (in Spanish: Unidad de Informaci\u00f3n y An\u00e1lisis Financiero) about possible money laundering.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the prosecutor dismissed that to summon Ruby Ayala Barrera for investigation would have arisen only for the fact that she was Loco Barrera\u2019s niece, as she admitted to have done dealings with him; but without knowing his true identity, since he identified himself with the name of his brother Arnoldo Barrera Barrera.<\/p>\n

The defendants were captured during legal searches in 35 Barrera Barrera\u2019s properties located in Bogot\u00e1, Tenjo, Chinauta and Tocaima (Cundinamarca), Cartagena (Bol\u00edvar), Santa Marta (Magdalena), and Puerto Lleras and Acacias (Meta) on July 2010.<\/p>\n

Daniel Barrera Barrera was captured on September 18, 2012 in Venezuela with three false identity cards and he will be extradited to the United States after an approval of a New York Court request, charging him with drug trafficking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
