Last February, General William René Salamanca, director of the Police, land informed the head of state that Operation Agamemnon was reactivated and a new strategy was designed to attack the ‘Gulf clan’.
This newspaper learned for the first time that the plan that the Police consolidated to confront this criminal structure, which according to the report of the intelligence agencies called ‘Appreciation of the critical capabilities of the threat, Accam’, with a cut-off date of July 2023 , has 4,999 members (1,740 in arms and 3,259 in support networks).
Agamemnon, which was launched in 2015, has had the sole objective (in its two phases) to affect the ‘Gulf clan’, and after the capture of ‘Othniel’ its intensity was lowered. Now, under the command of General Arnulfo Rosemberg Novoa Piñeros, the strategy “focuses on identifying, capturing and prosecuting 300 men and women who are part of the so-called support networks,” General Salamanca told this newspaper.
