Colombia seizes 44 assets linked to ‘Los del Dorado’ drug group

The Colombian Fiscalía General de la Nación has seized 44 assets linked to the criminal organization ‘Los del Dorado’. The assets, valued at over 22,118 million pesos, are subject to precautionary measures including embargo and seizure for the purpose of asset forfeiture.

The seized property includes 34 real estate holdings (17 urban and 17 rural), six vehicles, three commercial establishments, and one company. These assets are distributed across the departments of Antioquia, Boyacá, Caldas, Caquetá, and Santander.

According to the investigation, ‘Los del Dorado’ operated a cocaine production chain that began with coca paste obtained in Nariño. The substance was transported to clandestine laboratories in Puerto Triunfo, Antioquia, to be processed into cocaine hydrochloride. The organization allegedly concealed drug shipments within trucks carrying livestock, sand, rubble, and construction materials to move them toward the Colombian Caribbean for maritime export to the United States and Central America. The investigation was a joint effort involving the Fiscalía, the DIJIN of the National Police, and the FBI.
