Incarceration of Colombian influencer Epa Colombia

Overview

Colombian influencer Daneidy Barrera Rojas, known as Epa Colombia, is serving a 63-month prison sentence for crimes related to damage at the Molinos TransMilenio station during the 2019 national strike.

After months of silence, Barrera Rojas's legal team shared a photo of her at the Escuela de Carabineros in Bogotá, noting that efforts to secure her release were ongoing. Shortly thereafter, the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (INPEC) transferred her to the Picaleña prison complex in Ibagué. This transfer was part of a larger operation involving 117 high-profile detainees and followed investigations into alleged irregularities regarding her previous confinement, including reports of access to luxury items and aesthetic procedures while in custody.
