Alias Matamba, an alleged member of the Clan del Golfo, was captured in the village of La Fortuna, in Barrancabermeja (Santander), by the National Army's Fifth Brigade and the Police, within the framework of Plan Ayacucho Plus. --- The context --- According to the authorities, the man was hiding in La Fortuna, where uniformed personnel arrived to capture him, and he was an actor dedicated to driving the theft of hydrocarbons in Sabana de Torres, Puerto Parra, Puerto Wilches and Barrancabermeja, in the Magdalena Medio area of Santander. --- The facts --- The capture was achieved through a joint operation between the National Army's Fifth Brigade and the Police. The man was wanted for aggravated criminal conspiracy, qualified theft and illegal carrying of firearms and ammunition. According to the authorities, his criminal profile was related to the illicit extraction of hydrocarbons through the manipulation of clandestine valves, and he allegedly coordinated the transport of the material to collection points in rural sectors of the region. --- The positions --- According to the National Army, the capture represents a blow to this criminal structure, by weakening its mechanisms of criminal articulation and coordination in Santander's Magdalena Medio. The authorities point out that those activities would contribute to financing the Clan del Golfo's illicit economies. --- What remains unknown --- The official information does not detail the exact date of the operation or the next steps in the judicial process against the captured man. --- Unanswered questions --- Before which judicial authority will alias Matamba be presented? Will there be more captures linked to the hydrocarbon theft network in Magdalena Medio? What volume of fuel is attributed to this network? --- EPM analysis --- Hydrocarbon theft sustains the criminal structures of Magdalena Medio: striking the alleged logistics coordinator attacks their financing, not only their armed wing. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the capture of alias Matamba, an alleged member of the Clan del Golfo, is a concrete blow against the illicit economy of Santander's Magdalena Medio: according to the authorities, he drove hydrocarbon theft in Sabana de Torres, Puerto Parra, Puerto Wilches and Barrancabermeja, and allegedly coordinated the transport of the material to rural collection points. The Fifth Brigade and Police operation located him in La Fortuna. His process now moves forward before the courts, with presumption of innocence.
