In other words, people interested in traveling to North America filled out forms with work, academic and sentimental information that did not correspond to reality, so that\u00a0\u00a0they accredited a status before the US embassy that allowed them to enter that country. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">This deceit was supported with letters of recommendation, certificates and different types of documentation. A criminal structure known as &#8216;Frontera Norte&#8217; was behind this. This criminal organization earned between COP 700.000 to 1.000.000 for each process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Three women who would be part of this network were arrested and brought before a supervisory judge.
