A joint operation by the National Police, the Attorney General’s Office and the DIAN allowed the dismantling of a transnational multicrime network dedicated to smuggling, money laundering and illicit enrichment, with operations in Bogotá and Cali.
The investigation, which included international financial traceability and inter-institutional cooperation, culminated in the capture of eight people accused of leading this criminal organization, whose activity would have generated tax evasion of 47 billion pesos, resources that belong to citizens and are intended for education, health, security and social investment.
