Las autoridades venezolanas arrestaron al jefe de una poderosa banda de micro-tr\u00e1fico de Bogot\u00e1 con presuntos v\u00ednculos con grupos BACRIM, evidencia de la \u00edntima relaci\u00f3n entre las organizaciones criminales transnacionales y los distribuidores locales de drogas en Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rigoberto Arias Castrill\u00f3n, alias \u201cRigo\u201d, jefe de la banda \u201cManguera\u201d, fue arrestado en Venezuela el 21 de abril. \u201cManguera\u201d operaba en una de las principales zonas de micro-tr\u00e1fico de Bogot\u00e1, El Bronx, y seg\u00fan la polic\u00eda era responsable de m\u00e1s del 50 por ciento de la distribuci\u00f3n de drogas en Bogot\u00e1, obteniengo ganancias de entre 80 y 100 millones de pesos al d\u00eda (entre US$43.500 y US$54.500), inform\u00f3 Semana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La polic\u00eda colombiana hab\u00eda estado siguiendo a Arias desde diciembre y era buscado por la Interpol para enfrentar cargos de narcotr\u00e1fico, asesinato, extorsi\u00f3n y secuestro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seg\u00fan la polic\u00eda de Bogot\u00e1<\/a>, Arias era el \u00faltimo gran jefe pandillero de El Bronx en ser detenido, tras el arresto de los jefes de otras dos principales bandas, \u201cHomero\u201d y \u201cMosco\u201d, as\u00ed como el segundo al mando de Arias. La polic\u00eda vincula a Arias con la BACRIM (\u201cbandas criminales\u201d) \u201cLa Cordillera\u201d desde el momento que comenz\u00f3 su carrera en la regi\u00f3n cafetera de Colombia, luego formando la red de micro-tr\u00e1fico \u201cLos Rolos\u201d en Pereira, antes de trasladarse a Bogot\u00e1. Seg\u00fan El Tiempo, tambi\u00e9n estaba conectado con los Rastrojos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El heredero del comercio de Arias en la regi\u00f3n cafetera \u2013 con quien sigui\u00f3 manteniendo nexos narcotraficantes \u2013 fue detenido un mes antes.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n La captura de Arias y las supuestas conexiones proporcionan evidencia de que los principales grupos criminales est\u00e1n involucrados en operaciones de micro-tr\u00e1fico cada vez m\u00e1s sofisticadas en Colombia. Se cree que el ex l\u00edder de La Cordillera, arrestado en 2011<\/a>, control\u00f3 el mercado interno de drogas, tanto en la regi\u00f3n cafetera de Colombia como en Quito, Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El micro-tr\u00e1fico se ha convertido en un comercio cada vez m\u00e1s lucrativo en Colombia, llevando al presidente Juan Manuel Santos a anunciar en abril una importante operaci\u00f3n policial para combatir este tr\u00e1fico<\/a>. La informaci\u00f3n de Semana indica la extensi\u00f3n de los beneficios que se obtienen. Un informe anterior <\/a>de Caracol Radio en enero describe una banda de Bogot\u00e1 que gana US$300.000 al mes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Las autoridades venezolanas
