--- The context --- The president of Colombia, Abelardo De La Espriella, revealed on his official account the organizational chart of the gang Los del Freseo, accused of operating in Atlántico. The document lays out how a structure linked by the authorities to hitman coordination, illegal finances and extortion would be organized internally. --- The facts --- According to the information released, the structure would be made up of 45 members, distributed among top bosses, hitman coordinators, those responsible for illegal finances and those in charge of extortion. At the top of the chart appears William Enrique Vizcaíno Herrero, alias El Menor, identified as the alleged top boss. On the second level appears Joel José Llanes Vásquez, alias Joel Piraña, identified as the alleged second boss and captured after several months of investigation and an operation in Cali, Valle del Cauca. Judicial authorities stated that he coordinated the criminal operations and the internal communications of the gang. The chart also exposes an alleged illegal financing network with the aliases El Mocho, Negrito del Rubí and El Calvo, linked to land dealings and gota a gota loans. Alias El Gatico appears captured and linked to the criminal alliances component. The intermediate bosses are alias Chema, financial boss; alias Otón, extortion coordination; alias Orión, military boss, and alias Keko or Menor 08, zone boss. --- The positions --- According to what the president expressed, these captures strike the chain of command and weaken the capacity of the organization to order murders, extort and expand across the Colombian Caribbean. He also recognized the National Police for the result attributed to the presidential strategy BOSUR. --- What remains unknown --- Official details are still missing on the full role of alias El Gatico within the criminal alliances component, as are the judicial scope regarding each accused person and the practical detail of the alleged illegal financing network described in the document. --- Unanswered questions --- What official details are still missing on the role attributed to alias El Gatico within the gang? How will the structure of 45 members shown in the chart be sustained before the courts? Will extortion in Atlántico decrease after the blow to the chain of command? --- EPM analysis --- The disclosure organizes the public map of the gang: names, aliases and attributed functions are gathered in a single document. That exposure does not replace judicial proceedings, where each accusation must be proven, but it shows the architecture attributed to the organization and the point where the captures would seek to cut its chain of command. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, revealing the complete organizational chart turns a reserved investigation into a public map that citizens in Atlántico can compare with what they experience every day. The blow attributed to the chain of command will be fully real if extortion and ordered murders decrease in a sustained way, if each accusation is upheld before judges with solid evidence and if institutional presence effectively protects the communities of the Colombian Caribbean affected by this gang.
