They are allegedly involved in obtaining coca paste in Nari\u00f1o, its subsequent transportation to Magdalena Medio to be processed and turned into cocaine in clandestine laboratories, and its\u00a0final transportation to the Colombian Caribbean to coordinate its shipment to international destinations.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, a\u00a0judge imposed a prison sentence on seven alleged members of the drug trafficking group known as \u2018Los del Dorado\u2019 who are believed to be involved in the cocaine production chain and its subsequent shipment to the United States and Central American countries.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision involved:<\/span> Edilson Palacio Orjuela, alias Calvo; Orlay S\u00e1nchez Rojas, alias Negrito; Daniel Valencia Echeverry, alias Daniel; Robinson Andr\u00e9s Galvis G\u00f3mez, alias Calero or Calen; Hicswober Polan\u00eda S\u00e1nchez, alias Ober or La Gata; Dub\u00e1n Ferney Ceballos Henao, alias Paisa or Jet\u00f3n; and Jos\u00e9 Adier Ortiz Eberrei, alias Jota.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These people\u00a0are believed to be responsible for obtaining cocaine base paste in Nari\u00f1o, hiding it in cargo vehicles, and transporting it to clandestine laboratories located in the rural area of Puerto Triunfo (Antioquia), where the substance was processed and turned into cocaine hydrochloride, and finally transported to the Colombian Caribbean to coordinate its shipment by sea.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For these events, a prosecutor from the Directorate specialized in the fight against Drug Trafficking\u00a0charged them with aggravated trafficking, manufacturing, or possession of narcotics; bribery (giving or offering); and aggravated conspiracy to commit a crime. They did not plead guilty to the charges.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The evidence indicates that Palacio Orjuela is the alleged leader of the illegal organization. S\u00e1nchez Rojas and Valencia Echeverry are accused of purchasing and transporting cocaine base, while Polan\u00eda S\u00e1nchez and Ortiz Eberrei are allegedly linked to the transportation of narcotics, and Galvis G\u00f3mez and Ceballos Henao are allegedly responsible for cocaine production in Magdalena Medio region.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Los del Dorado\u2019 members were arrested thanks to a joint work of the Attorney General’s Office and DIJIN- National Police, with the support of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, carried out in Puerto Boyac\u00e1 (Boyac\u00e1), Puerto Triunfo and Envigado (Antioquia), Palmira (Valle del Cauca), and Florencia (Caquet\u00e1).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
