Los Primos band at the service of the Gulf Clan

The expert on violence issues expressed that this criminal group, which is made up of an intelligence team and hitmen, has the responsibility of collecting extortions and mobilizing and marketing drugs in the municipalities of the northern area of ​​Magdalena (Fundación, Aracataca and Banana Zone).

“They function as a franchise of the AGC and are financed by extortion and drug trafficking,” said Lerber Dimas.

For Dimas, who is also a human rights defender, it is worrying how barbarism in war and Territory dispute is becoming normal in Magdalena.

“The victims who have appeared dead in Palmor (Ciénaga area) appeared with signs of torture. The same thing happened in Santa Marta very recently, where the body whose hands had been cut off appeared. It is a recurring theme of the armed actors who are imposing these logics of responding to the group with which they fight with worse brutal practices,” he says.

In this way, according to Dimas, it is evident how an escalation of terror is being recorded in which through fear they seek to intimidate and subdue the population.

“What we are returning to is disastrous, it is the logic that you kill, but we kill you in worse ways,” the expert warned.

As expected, ‘Los Cousins’, after the violent crime of a young man in Fundación, reappeared in less than 48 hours, circulating a pamphlet in the neighboring municipality of Aracataca, where they announced new acts of bloodshed to those who did not attend. your orders.

While the authorities spoke out with the proposal of a reward of 20 million pesos to find the perpetrators of the Fundación murder, this organization seems to downplay its importance and, on the contrary, set about the task of distributing new pamphlets in other areas of the municipality to continue expanding its tentacles.

The new threatening billboard was directed at criminal groups with influence in the Sampués and Sampuecito sectors, in the north of the municipality, who are warned that there will continue to be “bloodshed” among the owners of the illicit rental plazas in these areas.
