The people involved are three people accused of obtaining cocaine in the southwest area of the country, transporting it to the ports of the Colombian Caribbean and taking it out to Calabria (Italy).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The liaisons of the Italian drug trafficking organization ‘Ndrangheta in Colombia were discovered in an investigation led by the Attorney General’s Office, with the support of the National Police and international authorities. They would be three men accused of obtaining cocaine hydrochloride and guaranteeing its arrival in the European territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evidence that was collected allowed to locate and arrested them in proceedings carried out in Cartagena (Bol\u00edvar) and Villavicencio (Meta). They are Cesar Alexander Hern\u00e1ndez Caballero, alias El Calvo; Haroll Miranda Casta\u00f1o and Jos\u00e9 William M\u00e9ndez Caycedo.<\/span><\/p>\n

A prosecutor appointed to the Directorate Specialized in the fight against Drug Trafficking brought them before a judge and charged them with trafficking, manufacture or possession of narcotics, and conspiracy to commit crimes. All of them were sent to prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The judicial police activities showed that these people allegedly obtained the cocaine shipments in rural areas of Nari\u00f1o, where they allegedly paid the so-called ‘Segunda Marquetalia’ of FARC dissidents in order for them to take the shipments out of the department.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way they allegedly managed to move tons of narcotics by land from the southwest area of the country to the ports of the Colombian Caribbean, to camouflage them in containers that were destined for Europe, specifically to the port of Gioia Tauro, province of Calabria (Italy).<\/span><\/p>\n

During the proceeding, it was established that alias El Calvo would be one of the main liaisons and the person in charge of traveling to Spain, France and Italy to carry out the illicit business.<\/span><\/p>\n
