On Friday, August 18, the Director of Inpec, Colonel of the National Police Daniel Gutiérrez, gave details of Operation Domino, a strategy that will be implemented in seven maximum security prisons in the country and will allow it to track the actions of 30 highly dangerous criminals committed for extortion.
During his explanation, the officer also showed a poster with the photos and the identity of these “initiators” of the crime, among them Digno Palomino, Jorge Eliécer Díaz Collazos, aka Castor; alias JJ, alias Cachetes, alias Otón, alias Bebo and Ober Ricardo Martínez Gutiérrez, known by the alias Negro Ober.
It is precisely on the latter that Inpec referred this Friday to some footage shot in a corridor of the prison where he is being held, capturing the moments when he desperately tries to take down a video surveillance camera that was aimed at his cell. But what arrested the man for multiple cases of extortion in Barranquilla and its metropolitan area, as well as establishing a dismemberment in the Atlantic capital, did not know that his movements were tracked by a hidden camera.
Colonel Gutiérrez explained that of this list of 30 extortionists, at least 11 act or influence the trade of Barranquilla and its metropolitan area, as well as other sectors of the economy.
Today we are launching the comprehensive plan against extortion, i.e. Operation Domino: a strategy that we developed with the National Police, with the Gaula, where we created a working group and generated an operational model to address the phenomenon that is extortion and the 30 extortion promoters, which will be distributed among seven prisons in the country,” said the head of the institute.
He explained that with this plan “prison officers will be given responsibilities” so that they have permanent control over the aforementioned criminals and prevent them from acting from prisons. For this, Colonel Gutiérrez added that a line of inquiry will be opened, “which identifies the prison servers that allow a telephone and will be investigated by the prosecution, according to criminal law.”
