In Cali, 16 properties and two vehicles used by criminal groups in communes 8 and 21 were placed under forfeiture. The properties, located in the Simón Bolívar and Desepaz neighborhoods, were used by the gangs ‘La 8’ and ‘Los Raros’ to coordinate activities related to storage, dosing, distribution and sale of narcotic substances.

The properties have a valuation of 4,100 million pesos and will be managed by the Special Assets Society (SAE). The vehicles seized, according to authorities, were used to hide drugs and weapons associated with homicides that occurred between April and May 2025.
