Colombia security forces capture 30 suspects in major anti-crime operations
Colombian security forces have conducted a series of major operations against various organized crime and terrorist structures, resulting in the capture of 30 individuals within a 24-hour period.
In Caquetá, seven members of the Rodrigo Cadete structure, a FARC dissident group, were apprehended in La Montañita. In the Cesar department, nine individuals linked to the ELN's Camilo Torres front were detained, including an alleged explosives expert known as 'Murdoc'.
Additional operations targeted the 'Los Fantasmas' group in Risaralda, leading to the detention of 15 members. In Tibú, authorities captured alias 'Pollo', a leader of the 'Estructura 33' dissidents, who is accused of involvement in the forced recruitment and murder of a 14-year-old girl.
In Antioquia, a joint operation between the Colombian Army and the US DEA led to the arrest of a Clan del Golfo drug trafficking leader known as 'Ñato' or 'Cachaco'. Furthermore, authorities disrupted a fuel theft network in Cesar and Putumayo, seizing 10,500 gallons of hydrocarbons and 820 isotanks used for illegal transport.
