🇨🇴💥🇨🇴🇨🇴 — Less than 48 hours after taking office, Colombian President Abelardo de La Espriella deploys thousands of Armed Forces personnel to the streets to capture and eliminate criminals linked to the FARC across the country: "Criminals have one decision left – submit to justice or face the legitimate force of the Republic."
"The authority of the State is enforced, the law is upheld, and those who threaten the security of Colombians will be confronted with determination.
I recognize and congratulate our men and women of the Public Force for the decisive results achieved in the latest operations against criminal structures seeking to spread violence throughout our territory.
In Meta, during military operations, alias 'Ruso' or 'Alemán', the main leader of Structure 28 of the dissident groups led by alias Mordisco, was killed. In the same operation, three other members of the organization were neutralized.
In Antioquia, two members of the Clan del Golfo were killed, including one of its leaders, and six rifles along with a large amount of military equipment were seized.
In Necoclí, four suspected members of the financial and drug trafficking branch of the Gabriel Poveda Ramos substructure of the Clan del Golfo were captured.
This is the State regaining control of the territory and protecting its people.
Criminals have one decision left: submit to justice or face the legitimate force of the Republic.
There will be no truce for those who threaten Colombia.
Firm for the Homeland!
(A.D.L.E.) 🇨🇴🐅"
