After assessing the evidence presented by the Attorney General’s Office, a judge imposed a prison sentence on 15 alleged members of the criminal organization known as \u2018Tren de Aragua\u2019.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A prosecutor appointed to the branch office in Bogot\u00e1 (Seccional Bogot\u00e1) charged them, based on individual responsibilities, with aggravated criminal conspiracy, aggravated homicide, attempted homicide, terrorism, extortion<\/strong>; trafficking, manufacturing, or possession of narcotics; manufacturing, trafficking, or possession of firearms; manufacturing, trafficking, and possession of weapons, ammunition for restricted use, for the exclusive use of the Security Forces, or explosives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants did not plead guilty to the charges and must serve a prison sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The arrests of these 14 individuals were conducted during a home search in Bosa and Kennedy<\/strong>. Three firearms, 73 cartridges, a bulletproof vest, and several doses of narcotics were seized during the proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the prosecuted people is a foreign citizen that would be the main coordinator behind the violent acts and petty drug dealing that take place in southern area of Bogot\u00e1. They are: Osmer Josu\u00e9 Castillo Urbaneja, alias Osmer, his trustworthy men Wilfredo Jos\u00e9 Romero Chirinos, alias Rat\u00f3n, and V\u00edctor Manuel L\u00f3pez Garc\u00eda, alias Shakil.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is believed that from that place he ordered the grenade attack against two police officers, which occurred on September 10, 2024, in Llano Grande area in \u200b\u200bKennedy. As a result, one woman died and nine people were injured, including both officers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They are also accused of the violent death of a man in the same area on September 27, 2023, due to so-called settling of scores.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evidence indicates that they allegedly forced stores owners in the south of the city to sell narcotics in their businesses amid death threats. They also determined who could engage in economic activity and how they could do so in El Amparo, Mar\u00eda Paz, Llano Grande, Patio Bonito, San Jos\u00e9, San Bernardino, and Villa Ema neighborhoods with previous payments.<\/span><\/p>\n
