The tentacles of the mafia network that operated on the estate of former ambassador Sanclemente

And although the information did not directly link the case with the laboratory found on the estate of former ambassador Fernando Sanclemente , sources from the entity told EL TIEMPO that the evidence obtained "allows us to infer that it would be the main supplier of substances for a laboratory that was discovered and destroyed on a farm located in Guasca (Cundinamarca) ", referring to the case. Indeed, the investigation made it possible to show that the network produced potassium permanganate, key to the processing of the alkaloid. (You may be interested: Hidden data from the narco-laboratory that knocked down Ambassador Sanclemente ). For this, they would be using rustic complexes located in Cundinamarca and the Llanos Orientales region. Then, the chemical supplies were sent by land in vehicles with illicit cargo to various municipalities in Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Magdalena Medio and Caquetá , where it was marketed to other drug trafficking structures. On the subject, the former ambassador has been emphatic that he has no connection with the complex found on his family's farm . In addition, they were outside the country when that part of the property was rented to third parties.

The list of those involved, disclosed by the Prosecutor's Office, includes a character who, apparently, had already been under investigation by the authorities within the 'Milenio II' operation. ' are Diego Fernando Astudillo Trujillo , Francisco Javier López, Jimmy Alexander Fajardo Ávila, Edinson Fernando López Yanguma, Nicolás González López, César Augusto Cuaspud Castaño, Rosel Bonilla Triviño , Gerson Fabian Torres, John Dairo Torres Torres, Rodrigo Bedoya García and Aurelio de Jesús Ramírez Valencia. Now it is being investigated whether Astudillo Trujillo is the same person who appeared linked to a drug trafficking case in April 2000. That year, a subject with the same names and surnames was captured in the so-called Operation 'Milenium II ', in the city of Popayán.

In this framework, the investigators established that companies legally constituted in Florencia (Caquetá) were being used, where they apparently had the complicity of legal representatives who facilitated the diversion of the controlled chemical substance. (See here all the articles of the Investigative Unit of TIME). Among those captured is Luis Eduardo Ramírez , a designated leader of the criminal network and who was allegedly the main link between the legally constituted companies and the structures at the service of drug trafficking. Ramírez would be the main supplier of substances for the laboratories that operated in the Sabana de Bogotá, including the one in Guasca (Cundinamarca).
