Authorities are trying to confirm a possible internal split in the dissident groups led by Iván Mordisco, which have a strong presence in Cauca, according to intelligence information. --- The context --- The Carlos Patiño structure is present in southwestern Colombia, and alias Paciencia, also identified as Jhonatan, would have been for years one of its trusted men. As second commander and financial chief of that structure, his eventual disappearance would affect internal payments and the financing of violent actions in the region. --- The facts --- According to intelligence information, gathered through telephone intercepts and testimony from human sources, alias Paciencia would have escaped with 10,000 million pesos, proceeds of extortion and payments for coca. The money would have been intended to pay rank-and-file members and to finance violent actions in southwestern Colombia, and its disappearance would have caused concern among the Carlos Patiño commanders. Alias Paciencia would have left together with his romantic partner, alias Maryuri. He joined in 2021 the Fray León company, in a rural area of El Tambo, Cauca. --- The positions --- Members of the structure would be searching for him house by house, with checkpoints and phone checks, given the possibility that he left part of the money hidden in homes in the region. Alias Iván Mordisco would have offered a promotion to whoever manages to find him, while troops continue following these dissident groups on the orders of President Abelardo De La Espriella. --- What remains unknown --- The information remains unconfirmed: the Army and the other authorities are trying to confirm what happened, and the whereabouts of alias Paciencia are still unknown. --- Unanswered questions --- Is the escape of alias Paciencia with the 10,000 million pesos confirmed? Where is he now together with alias Maryuri? How many families remain affected in Huisitó and El Tambo by the threats attributed to the structure? --- EPM analysis --- If confirmed, the Carlos Patiño structure would lose its financial chief and resources intended to sustain its operations, a blow to the finances of the dissident groups led by Iván Mordisco. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, if the escape is confirmed, the blow to the Carlos Patiño structure would be double, because it would lose its financial chief and resources meant to sustain its operations, but the immediate concern should be the 400 families in Huisitó and El Tambo who, according to intelligence information, would face threats and possible confinement while the search moves house by house across the Cauca region and residents remain caught in the middle of armed pressure after what happened in that rural area.
