Medellín Mayor provides FBI with evidence of suspected money laundering route

Medellín Mayor Federico Gutiérrez has provided the FBI with evidence regarding a suspected money laundering route used to divert public funds from Medellín to the United States between 2020 and 2023.

The investigation, involving the group known as ‘Los Hermanitos Q’, alleges that stolen resources were moved from Colombia to Panama and subsequently to Miami, Florida. Gutiérrez delivered a dossier containing names, companies, and addresses of alleged strawmen used to facilitate these transactions.

In Colombia, the case includes over 13,000 pieces of documentary evidence and 55 indicted individuals. The mayor emphasized that the goal is to ensure those involved face justice in both Colombia and the United States for asset laundering. The investigation follows a forensic audit that has recently expanded to include 666 findings.
