[Politics] This is how the two Colombian drug traffickers most wanted by Spain fell

[-𝓣𝓐𝓚𝓘]

In Europe, especially in Spain, the authorities are on high alert due to the increase in cocaine seizures and the location of laboratories for the processing of alkaloids.

That modus operandi was carried out by Colombian drug traffickers who are clear that it is easier, and generates fewer losses in the event of a seizure, to transport the coca base and paste and process it there.

The alarms went off in 2016, after an operation by the Spanish Police that located a rustic laboratory to process cocaine on a farm in Alcázar de San Juan, in Ciudad Real.

At the scene, 31 kilos of coca, a large amount of chemical precursors, were seized and six people were captured. The investigation determined that the network transported the drug to Madrid, in coves located in private cars.

Since that time, the Spanish authorities have had two Colombian citizens on their radar: Wilson Humberto Parra Murcia and Otoniel Villafañe Montoya, whom they point to as "members of an international drug trafficking network", for which they are accused of drug trafficking and responsibility in production,
processing and marketing of cocaine in Europe.

EL TIEMPO had access to the dossier against Parra and Villafañe that indicates that in the midst of the investigations carried out by the Central Unit for Drugs and Organized Crime of the Spanish National Police, "they are linked as members of an international drug trafficking network, which had its criminal actions in Ciudad Real and Orcoyen (Spain), where they carried out their illicit activities of cocaine trafficking".

What was your role in the network?

 

The Spanish authorities asked Interpol to issue a red circular for considering them "highly dangerous criminals" and thus facilitate their location and capture in the 195 countries that are part of this elite body.

According to the Spanish authorities, Parra Murcia is accused of installing a drug laboratory in Ciudad Real.

There he "he would have taken care of
the manufacture and processing of cocaine hydrochloride through the acquisition of coca base and allied chemical products for its preparation," reads the dossier.

On the other hand, Villafañe would have been in charge of the distribution and commercialization of cocaine in the city of Orcoyen, "prioritizing areas of tourist influx and tolerance
for the trafficking of the alkaloid".

In fact, the document indicates that in 2020 the Spanish authorities carried out an operation against Villafañe, to whom one of his homes in the Balearic Community, Spain, was searched, "achieving the seizure of considerable amounts of narcotic cocaine, documents and accounting books, where he recorded all the criminal movements of the commercialization, distribution of the hallucinogen and the financial control of the sales made".

In Colombia, an elite group of the National Police began the investigation in order to locate them and after several months of investigation they found them in Cartago and
Buga (Valle del Cauca), "where they engaged in daily activities to keep a low profile and elude the authorities."

The location of Parra and Villañafe was coordinated with the Central Unit for Drugs and Organized Crime of the Spanish National Police, "in an example of the good relations in the fight against drug trafficking between the two police forces of the aforementioned countries," assured the investigator on the case.

The nationals are requested in extradition and the judicial authorities are already advancing in that process.
