One of Bogotá's most wanted detained in Buenos Aires

A Colombian citizen aged 45, identified by the authorities as Edwin Alfredo López Casteblanco, was detained in Buenos Aires after the City Police confirmed that he had an Interpol red notice for homicide, injuries resulting in death and firearms offences in Colombia, according to the published report. --- The context --- The detained man had appeared on the poster of the six most wanted men for homicide and terrorism in Bogotá, released by the Metropolitan Police after the attack that occurred in Ciudad Bolívar during March 2022, in the Arborizadora Alta neighbourhood, attributed to the 33 front of the Farc dissidents. --- The facts --- The man was arrested on Friday, October 30, in the Villa Crespo neighbourhood together with an alleged accomplice aged 54, accused of stealing objects from parked vehicles. The operation began on Scalabrini Ortiz avenue at 500, where agents of the Investigations Division Commune 14 observed two men checking parked vehicles. During the search, the officers found a backpack with electronic devices, among them a tablet that, according to the authorities, had been taken shortly before from a car. The owner of the equipment, an Argentine woman aged 26, was located by the authorities, and the two men were placed at the disposal of the National Criminal and Correctional Court number 15. --- The positions --- The City Police said that, during the procedure, the detained man allegedly gave another name, but the international cross-check made it possible to establish his presumed real identity. The Interpol Division verified his situation at the police station and, after the confirmation, the Argentine judicial authority ordered his detention and the start of the extradition procedure. --- What remains unknown --- The notice was issued at the request of the Municipal Criminal Court of Guarantees number 79 of Bogotá, within a criminal investigation for homicide and arms trafficking. The extradition procedure must advance through the judicial cooperation mechanisms between Argentina and Colombia, without the source specifying a date for its resolution. --- Unanswered questions --- When will the extradition procedure to Colombia be resolved? Will the detained man's defence make a statement? On what date could his transfer to Bogotá take place? --- EPM analysis --- The detention took place in an operation over theft of objects from cars and ended up connecting with an international search open since the Arborizadora Alta attack, which left two minors dead and more than 30 people injured, according to the source. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, what matters is that an international search open since the March 2022 attack in Arborizadora Alta advanced through police and judicial cooperation between Argentina and Colombia: the alleged suspect was identified in Buenos Aires despite having given another name, and his detention and the start of extradition were ordered by the Argentine judicial authority. What must follow is for the procedure to be completed with full guarantees and for Bogotá justice to establish his presumed involvement with evidence.
