Another transfer to a prison center added Jorge Eliécer Díaz Collazos, alias Castor, known leader of the criminal organization ‘Los Costeños’ on Thursday, June 1.
The prisoner was sent to the High and Medium Security Penitentiary Establishment of La Dorada, in the department of Caldas, known as Doña Juana.
This place has been on the radar of the media for days, ever since Ober Ricardo Martínez Gutiérrez, aka “El Negro Ober” and now the former governor of La Guajira, Juan Francisco Gómez Cerchar, aka Kiko Gómez, after the closure of the pavilion of officials of the Penitentiary of El Bosque de Barranquilla.
This move, as this medium taught, was allegedly commissioned by the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute, Inpec, as a security measure to prevent criminal action in the Atlantico Department.
It should be recalled that alias Castor has active legal proceedings in the Fifth Municipal Criminal Court of Cúcuta for the crimes of murder, manufacture, trafficking and possession of firearms and ammunition, use of minors to commit crimes and conspiracy to commit a crime to commit. But in Barranquilla, the Public Prosecutor’s Office keeps a number of criminal offenses that directly link him.
According to the prosecution, the evidence indicates that alias Castor is responsible for a murder that took place in Galapa in March 2018; and two others that took place in Barranquilla. “One of the victims, a designated member of ‘Los Costeños’, was dismembered and left in a building.
Likewise, it was learned that on April 18, 2019, he apparently arranged a group of assassins to carry out an armed attack in the Villa María neighborhood, in Soledad, as a result of this action, one person was injured.
But last year he is said to have been the determining factor in the massacre in the Las Flores neighborhood and apparently he was the one who ordered the attack in the El Santuario neighborhood, in southern Barranquilla, an event that left four dead, including an active Metropolitan Police officer.
The detained man was expelled from Venezuela at the request of the Colombian government last April after the escalation of violence and insecurity in the city of Barranquilla, attributed to a confrontation with his former partner Digno Palomino.
