Las mafias de los microcr\u00e9ditos florecen en la ciudad de Cali, Colombia, atizan la violencia y fomentan los homicidios, mientras las autoridades luchan por hallar una soluci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los prestamistas ilegales en la ciudad de Cali, al suroccidente de Colombia, han  surgido como mafias plenas, con sofisticadas estructuras organizacionales y t\u00e1cticas de coerci\u00f3n violentas que incluyen el uso de  estructuras de \u201cagentes\u201d armados para el cobro de peque\u00f1os pr\u00e9stamos a intereses hasta del 40 por ciento, inform\u00f3 El Pa\u00eds<\/a>. Las redes de usura se conocen localmente como operaciones \u201cgota a gota\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los pr\u00e9stamos en cuesti\u00f3n no requieren comprobaci\u00f3n del cr\u00e9dito ni conllevan un papeleo mayor a la firma de un acuerdo de pago. La mayor\u00eda de los pr\u00e9stamos est\u00e1n en un rango de US$30 a US$150, con un techo de US$300. Electrodom\u00e9sticos grandes son la forma de prenda m\u00e1s com\u00fan. Los estimativos indican que hay por lo menos 28 de esas operaciones en Cali<\/a>, con una base de clientes combinada de unas 50.000 personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un exagente de una de dichas operaciones declar\u00f3 a El Pa\u00eds que sus jefes pod\u00edan obtener m\u00e1s de US$40.000 en ganancias mensuales, aun despu\u00e9s de pagar a una plantilla de 15 cobradores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuentes de la divisi\u00f3n de investigaciones penales de la Polic\u00eda Nacional de Colombia (PNC) se\u00f1alan que mucha parte del dinero que circula en esas redes de pr\u00e9stamos puede tener su origen en el crimen organizado, espec\u00edficamente en operaciones de narcotr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El jefe de la PNC en Cali, Nelson Ram\u00edrez, dice que el n\u00famero de personas muertas por problemas con prestamistas ilegales va en aumento. Las autoridades calculan<\/a> que alrededor del 10 por ciento de los homicidios en la ciudad tienen que ver con operaciones de pr\u00e9stamos ilegales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u00e1lisis de InSight Crime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Los pr\u00e9stamos ilegales de usura en Colombia no son un fen\u00f3meno nuevo, pero el mayor tama\u00f1o y la sofisticaci\u00f3n de las operaciones \u201cgota a gota\u201d en Cali parece ser una preocupaci\u00f3n creciente para la polic\u00eda local y los fiscales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A finales de enero, el alcalde de Cali, Maurice Armitage, anunci\u00f3 una nueva iniciativa<\/a> para contener y cerrar esas operaciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanto en casa como en el exterior, desde Brasil hasta Honduras<\/a>, los pr\u00e9stamos a usura de representantes del crimen organizado en Colombia se han convertido en un m\u00e9todo preferido para poner en uso las ganancias del negocio ilegal de la droga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pese a las alt\u00edsimas tasas de inter\u00e9s que cobran y de la violencia asociada a sus operaciones, los usureros colombianos est\u00e1n llenando un vac\u00edo real<\/a> de servicios financieros formales para los pobres, quienes muchas veces no tienen m\u00e1s opci\u00f3n cuando enfrentan adversidades econ\u00f3micas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como declar\u00f3 una fuente a El Pa\u00eds, \u201cLa gente necesita plata. Ellos les resuelven el problema. Es una mafia que sigue creciendo\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
