“The operation focused on the houses that ‘Otoniel’ used to protect himself, so in the operation of his capture the Air Force was fundamental, which developed an overflight, managing to identify in a video that he moved with three people, in a high part from the Yoki hill, and the operation that led to his capture was carried out based on that information, “he added.
The man most wanted in Colombia had also not used a telephone for months and all his communications were based on “human emails.”
“What was done was a troop incursion which was reinforced by the National Army and from that, a permanent presence was made in the area. The way was blocked in different quadrants and operations were constantly carried out to make it move, “explained Molano.
There were 500 men who entered with the idea of staying in the area, “staying as long as necessary until we found him because we knew that he had already lost his base security.”
The minister of the government of Ivan Duque -who described the capture of “Otoniel” as the biggest hit to the drug traffickers in Colombia- confirmed the rumors about the use of dogs by the security of the leader of the Gulf Clan to detect the presence of the police and the military.
“He had trained dogs to warn of the presence of the Public Force and that affected us the incursion, for example, of the Special Forces to locate it. That tracking of the dogs managed to affect several attempts that were made to capture it. The animals warned him of our presence, “he said.
“They beat me. They beat me,” said “Otoniel” after his capture.
The next step for Colombia is the extradition to USA, who had already requested his surrender, despite the fact that in his country he has more than 120 cases pending.
“An extradition order weighs against ‘Otoniel’. That extradition order is the one that corresponds, the one that is still in progress and corresponds to the treatment and handling that the Ministry of Justice is giving him,” Molano explained.
