This Saturday, April 9, the Minister of Defense, Diego Molano, announced the capture of Miguel Ángel Úsuga, alias Compa. This criminal was apparently in charge of the microtrafficking business of the Gulf Clan in Medellín.
“With the fall and prompt extradition of 'Otoniel', the 'Gulf Clan' collapses. The police captured Miguel Ángel Úsuga, alias' Compa ', in charge of the' Clan 'microtrafficking business in Medellín. 8 more criminals were also captured,” announced the head of the portfolio through his social networks.
The other criminals captured under the 'Argenta' strategy of the Attorney General's Office were identified as: Carmen Cecilia Graciano Loaiza, Jhojan Andrey Úsuga Graciano, José Alveiro Gómez Granada, Yuliany Andrea Úsuga David, Alejandra Naranjo Alarcón, Hernando Úsuga Graciano, Edwin Jahir Carmona Cifuentes and Andrew Felipe Clavijo Jimenez.
It should be recalled that alias Compa began its criminal journey in the Northern Bloc of the extinct Self-Defense Forces. He was also in charge of finances there, as he had experience in commercial transactions involving narcotics.
Although he bears the surname Úsuga, alias compa is not related to the detainee Dairo Antonio Úsuga David, 'Otoniel'. However, the authorities established that in 2010 Miguel Ángel Úsuga was romantically involved with the eldest daughter of the top leader of the Gulf Clan.
This is how the network that handled the clan's finances in Medellín operated
These individuals were prosecuted for laundering assets and hiding illicit assets of the Gulf Clan, according to information provided by the investigating body.
The Specialized Directorate Against Money Laundering and the Specialized Directorate for the Extinction of the Right to Dominion, in coordination with the DIJIN of the National Police, established that the defendants would be part of an illegal network that, apparently, received and had the money that the said criminal structure obtained from forced displacement, extortion of traders and ranchers, as well as drug trafficking, among other illicit conduct.
According to investigations carried out by the authorities, it was established that those captured had acquired movable property, immovable property and livestock for the Gulf Clan. Likewise, they created front companies to give the appearance of legality to resources and put them to circulate in the national financial system.
Through these apparently legal transactions, the criminal structure managed to launder more than 33 billion pesos.
The crimes charged to the nine members of the Gulf Clan are: illicit enrichment of individuals, a concert to commit crimes for the purpose of money laundering, and advice to organized criminal groups and organized armed groups.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, of those arrested, one will face the judicial process in freedom, another three from their place of residence under the house-to-prison measure and the other five obtained security measures in prison.
In the development of the operation that led to the capture of these criminals, the authorities also carried out search procedures.
In these proceedings, the authorities managed to seize 1,154 million pesos in cash that was hidden in a cove. As reported by the Prosecutor's Office, this money will be made available to an extinction of domain prosecutor to advance the relevant procedures.
