La persecuci\u00f3n de Colombia en contra del grupo narcotraficante Libertadores del Vichada obtuvo una nueva victoria con la captura de alias \u201cYuca\u201d, lo que genera dudas sobre qui\u00e9n pasar\u00e1 a controlar los Llanos Orientales tras la ca\u00edda de los principales cabecillas de la zona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La polic\u00eda colombiana arrest\u00f3 a Mario Antonio C\u00e1rdena, alias \u201cYuca\u201d, l\u00edder de la organizaci\u00f3n narcotraficante Libertadores del Vichada, tan s\u00f3lo unas semanas despu\u00e9s de la muerte de su antiguo cabecilla \u201cPijarbey.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u00e1rdena, quien fue capturado en Barranquilla, est\u00e1 acusado de manejar las operaciones de tr\u00e1fico de drogas de los Libertadores del Vichada, grupo disidente de otra organizaci\u00f3n narcoparamilitar, el Ej\u00e9rcito Revolucionario Popular Antiterrorista de Colombia (ERPAC), ubicado en los Llanos Orientales colombianos. Cada mes, \u00e9l coordinaba el transporte de aproximadamente dos toneladas de coca\u00edna a Estados Unidos y controlaba varios laboratorios de procesamiento de coca\u00edna, seg\u00fan la investigaci\u00f3n policial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seg\u00fan los informes, C\u00e1rdena tom\u00f3 el control<\/a> de las rutas de tr\u00e1fico de drogas tras la extradici\u00f3n de su t\u00edo Jos\u00e9 Evaristo Linares Castillo, quien ten\u00eda v\u00ednculos<\/a> con el extraditado capo colombiano Daniel \u201cEl Loco\u201d Barrera, as\u00ed como con<\/a> alias \u201cCuchillo\u201d, l\u00edder del ERPAC, y con guerrilleros de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u00e1rdena presuntamente traficaba coca\u00edna v\u00eda terrestre a Apure, Venezuela, desde donde era enviada hacia Estados Unidos. Actualmente est\u00e1 a la espera de ser extraditado a Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La captura de C\u00e1rdena constituye el \u00faltimo golpe de una serie de acciones exitosas en contra de los Libertadores del Vichada. La muerte de Pijarbey, uno de los traficantes colombianos m\u00e1s poderosos<\/a>, a finales de septiembre, y el reciente arresto de su sucesor inmediato<\/a> Edigxon Aguirre, alias \u201cCaponera\u201d, son una clara se\u00f1al de la vulnerabilidad del grupo en una de las regiones m\u00e1s importantes para el tr\u00e1fico de drogas en el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La persecuci\u00f3n en contra de los principales cabecillas en los Llanos Orientales ha ocasionado sangrientas batallas<\/a> en el pasado. Por otra parte, las FARC \u2014cuyo Bloque Oriental controla los cultivos de coca y las rutas hacia Venezuela y Brasil\u2014se ha mantenido al margen de la contienda. Enfrentados a la posibilidad de que se firme un acuerdo de paz en Cuba en los pr\u00f3ximos seis meses<\/a>, se cree que las FARC intentan recaudar la mayor cantidad de dinero que puedan antes de una probable desmovilizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Noticias y perfiles de Colombia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Considerando el hecho de que en 2014 se present\u00f3 un aumento del 44 por ciento<\/a> en los cultivos de coca en Colombia \u2014que en gran parte se concentran en los Llanos orientales\u2014 las FARC est\u00e1n bien posicionadas para tomar ventaja del debilitamiento de los Libertadores del Vichada, con el fin de incrementar sus propias ganancias y asumir el control de las rutas en el \u00e1rea. Es m\u00e1s, se dice que la organizaci\u00f3n guerrillera ha reabierto rutas para el tr\u00e1fico de drogas hacia Brasil y Venezuela, luego de que \u00e9stas se interrumpieran<\/a> tras la muerte del cabecilla de las FARC \u201cEl Negro Acacio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las lucrativas posibilidades para las FARC en esta regi\u00f3n ponen de manifiesto la duda sobre si las FARC estar\u00e1n dispuestas a dejar atr\u00e1s las decenas de millones de d\u00f3lares en el caso de que se alcance el acuerdo de paz. Y de hacerlo, \u00bfqui\u00e9n ser\u00e1 el pr\u00f3ximo en controlar los Llanos orientales de Colombia?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La persecuci\u00f3n de Colombia en contra del grupo narcotraficante Libertadores del Vichada obtuvo una nueva victoria con la captura de alias \u00abYuca\u00bb, lo que genera dudas sobre qui\u00e9n pasar\u00e1 a controlar los Llanos Orientales tras la ca\u00edda de los principales cabecillas de la zona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":43368,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[368,1542,496],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3887],"class_list":["post-8277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-colombia-pais","tag-farc-ep","tag-los-libertadores-del-vichada","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/arresto-crea-oportunidades-para-farc-este-colombia\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Arresto crea oportunidades para FARC en este de Colombia","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/arresto-crea-oportunidades-para-farc-este-colombia\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/arresto-crea-oportunidades-para-farc-este-colombia\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/es-15-10-18-colombia-yuca.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/es-15-10-18-colombia-yuca.jpg?fit=250%2C154&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mimi Yagoub"}],"creator":["Mimi Yagoub"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["colombia","farc","libertadores del vichada"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-28T00:12:01Z","datePublished":"2017-03-28T00:12:01Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:48:29Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2236,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/colombia-organized-crime-news\/libertadores-del-vichada\/","url_meta":{"origin":8277,"position":0},"title":"Libertadores del Vichada","author":"InSight Crime","date":"23 de abril de 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"The Libertadores del Vichada are a splinter group of the Popular Revolutionary Anti-Terrorist Army of Colombia.","rel":"","context":"En \u00abColombia\u00bb","block_context":{"text":"Colombia","link":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/category\/colombia-organized-crime-news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Grupo Criminal -
