Colombian authorities have detained individuals wanted under Interpol red notices for crimes committed in other nations.

In late October 2026, Katerin Herrera Álvarez was detained in Medellín. She is accused of participating in an aggravated extortion ring in Östersund, Sweden, which allegedly used fraudulent emails impersonating police officers to intimidate victims. Sweden is preparing a formal extradition request.

In early November 2026, Katherina Dakarina Martínez Ojeda, a Venezuelan national, was arrested in Pereira. She is wanted by Venezuelan authorities for her alleged involvement in a 2020 double homicide in Guárico state. Investigators claim she played a logistical role in the criminal group and used digital distortion tactics to obstruct the investigation. She has been placed at the disposal of Colombian judicial authorities to begin extradition proceedings.
