--- The context --- In Norte de Santander, authorities sought alias Muco, identified as an alleged member of the FARC dissidents. He was one of the most wanted there. --- The facts --- In a joint operation by the GAULA Militar Magdalena Medio, the National Police Elite Corps and with cooperation from the DEA, alias Muco was captured in the district of Acapulco, municipality of Gamarra, department of Cesar. He was sought for his alleged participation in homicides, especially against social leaders, and wanted for aggravated homicide and for the manufacture, trafficking, carrying or possession of firearms, accessories, parts or ammunition. --- The positions --- According to the authorities, he had been linked to Front 33 for about 12 years. The National Army stated, in reported speech, that he allegedly acquired supplies to sustain the criminal infrastructure and coordinated illicit activities, extortion and selective homicides against human rights defenders, signatories of the Peace Agreement and their families. --- What remains unknown --- The date of the operation and the place where the captured man was taken were not detailed. It is also unknown which judicial authority will take on his case or his legal situation. --- Unanswered questions --- What comes next for the captured man after his detention in Gamarra? Which judicial authority will define his legal situation? How will his alleged participation in the homicides attributed to him be verified? --- EPM analysis --- The capture brought together two Colombian forces and the DEA outside the department where he was wanted. The most serious allegation is his alleged participation in homicides against social leaders. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the capture must lead to a solid judicial process that establishes, with evidence, his alleged participation in homicides against social leaders and defenders. Protecting signatories of the Peace Agreement and their families requires verifiable results, guarantees for affected communities and public follow-up until an authority defines his legal situation with due process.
