Authorities captured alias “Mi Pez,” alleged mastermind of recent attacks in southwestern Colombia, in a rural area of Palmira, Valle del Cauca. He is linked to the Cajibío tunnel bombing that killed 20 and injured 38. The operation involved the National Police, Military Forces, Attorney General's Office, and local authorities.
The operation took place on April 28 in Palmira, following a security council in Cali. Alias “Mi Pez” was intercepted while coordinating criminal activities, according to official information.
Investigations link him to the April 25 attack in the Cajibío tunnel on the Pan-American Highway, which killed 20 and injured 38. He is associated with aliases “Marlon” and “Max” in the ‘Dagoberto Ramos’ structure of Farc dissidents, behind attacks in Cali in August 2025 near the Air Base, killing seven and injuring over 70.
The suspect has over 20 years in illegal organizations and is close to alias “Iván Mordisco.” He is attributed with coordinating more than 40 violent actions against civilians and security forces in Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Nariño, and Huila.
Cali's mayor praised the institutional coordination and called the capture a major blow against those responsible for violence in the region.
