According to the version of the mercenary who participated in the operation in which the head of the Second Marquetalia, Henry Castellanos Garzón, alias Romaña, was assassinated, the action was achieved thanks to the collaboration of people close to the former guerrilla leader, who also wanted to claim the reward offered by the Colombian and North American authorities for his whereregardings.
In the audios that he obtained WEEKse listens to whom the mercenary identifies as alias Dumax and to a supposed member of the Grate (Police Antiterrorism Group), who talk regarding how they should get to the Romaña camp without raising suspicion.
According to the mercenary Dumax, in the conversation was receiving instructions from the member of the Grate on the precautions he had to take in order not to be discovered by Romaña and his men.
Dumax: What I plan to do is go in and if there is the business, brother, specify the return that we have pending, or if they attend me personally. Already ‘the black man’ told me that you were going to give me a very good tool (rifles) to do anything (…). I don’t know how effective it is, that it is effective, it’s not going to be that I alone, queer (…). So, I don’t know, you tell me how we do it or what it is.
Grate: no, simple, be careful, I’ll try to get it today or tomorrow…
Dumax: listen, well, another one, another one that I was going to tell you, is that I spoke with the one who remembers that we gave him the, what is that called, the little fagots they sent over there, and what the guy gave me to understand was that with the other two guys who had come in, the old man (Romaña) was kind of dizzy, that is, angry because they had They had talked and they had talked and they had done no business.
Grate: who was he angry with?
Dumax: Well, with the foreigner he went to do the business and didn’t come out with anything and with the other one he brought, don’t you remember that when we were in Arauca he brought another man and none of them complied?
Grate: And you don’t have direct communication there with him?
Dumax: No. Direct no, there how then.
Grate: So who is going to coordinate the entrance?
Dumax: the man, this man to whom we deliver the materials (weapons).
Grate: for that, and you already spoke with him personally?
Dumax: yes, I spoke to him personally last night… and he said yes.
Grate: for that, and would that man go with you?
Dumax: no, the man does not go there, but heHe called and told me yes, let him go and I have to get there close to where we left the tools (weapons), do you understand me?, and that they pick me up there on Sunday morning or Sunday noon to down.
Grate: Well, brother, the only thing I see is that you go with in advance, look for the elements (weapons) in time and take one of those, güevón, so you can work. The little girl
Dumax: would be to take that one, and the other thing that this man told me that you might give me, do you have it?
Grate: yes, I’m going to look, I’ll try it get. But the point is that you try to take advantage of that entry, dude, and what we’ve talked regarding, so there’s no problem there, but let’s do the thing…
Dumax: oh, well, do it, then; I look for it, there are two little ones there and there are (inaudible)…
Grate: for that, but you have to go to the fixed one and to have the certainty and the guarantee that this man did not hide it from you elsewhere, and that they are laying a trap for you or something; how is that man going to start moving that without consulting, güevón.
Dumax: I really didn’t want to say anything to the man because one knows what intentions one of those assholes might have too… It’s better to keep quiet, if you understand me…
audio two
In the second audio, Dumax tells the alleged member of the Police to be aware of the briefcase, which according to the mercenary contained a GPS for its location in real time.
Grate: Ok, ready, then when would it start?
Dumax: brother, I’m leaving right now, I’m going to pick up the things and I’m going; keep an eye on the motherfucker briefcase (GPS), if the briefcase doesn’t move in two days, brother, look what, I told the ‘black’ the same thing.
Grate: No, let him know that I am aware of that…
Dumax: realize at least what happened…
Grate: queer, be careful, here it is just one issue, and that is that you rescue what you left lying around (weapons) so that you can work; you were given the elements (weapons) to do the job and you irresponsibly left them lying around, dude, so the issue is that you try to recover at least what to do the issue with and let him do it there, güevón. I am in charge here of answering; that yes, tell (inaudible)… make at least one video or something with the commitment that has been had. You have an opportunity, an entry and you’ll see how he does, you know the theme for the exit, you already know where it can be, it’s your turn to play it there, güevón…
Dumax: and how do you say, one has to go to the fixed, yes I see that the things from here to there at the entrance I notice suspicions or something like that, brother, strange, I once and for all tell you the things so that you also know.
Grate: ok, done…
Dumax: I’m not afraid to go either because, well I consider, brother, that no one has opened their mouths, because these are things that have been handled between us, although one does not know… That queer from Italy how speak, if he has said, he has not said, let us hope that nothing has been said…
Grate: I don’t think much that he doesn’t know that you you are going to go and you don’t know that you are going to have income there, I don’t think so, you have to have something in mind or have something planned.
Dumax: Unless he’s a friend of the guy I talked to and suddenly kicked him out.
Grate: sure. Who searched for you? Who contacted you?
Dumax: a man contacted me, It’s that how do I tell you, the man got out of jail not many days ago and the man was a friend of mine, that is, previously we knew each other and we met in Bogotá in these same adventures that we have had…
Grate: look at the simple result, you are looking for a third party and it turns out in the house of Italy and supposedly he does not know anything…
In this third audio, the alleged masterminds of the plan to kill Romaña entrust themselves to God so that everything goes well.
Grate: ok, back to what I told them now, the only thing that matters here is that you can do the topic inside and I’ll take care of answering him for the offer, how it is his subject…
Dumax: I bear that in mind, brother, I’m going as if things are going to work positively for us, I hope so.
Grate: God willing…
Dumax: and I hope you find what you tell me to look for, maybe he gave me some indications, hopefully and if it is like that and it is not that Cain has taken them…
Grate: I don’t understand why, very likely, dude. You think that man is going to get them out, he’s going to search them and he’s going to move them, he’s going to hide them once more, queer, hide them, let them be where they’re hidden, he’s going to find them, why hide them once more? hide?
Dumax: yes, that’s what I kept thinking, I was more worried when they told me that the man had gone; Well, why did he leave? I thought, or what? It was, maybe you can’t ask him why, they’re going to think: ‘And why is this man investigating so much?’ Let’s hope that the thing comes out and that it is not some trap, I hope that nobody has said anything, although this man I saw him cool, at the ‘gare gare’ I saw him cool, he told me: ‘No, don’t worry, do it’…
Grate: so fresh that it will not go…
Dumax: but he said the same, the man is played with these two gentlemen who came in because they didn’t comply with I don’t know what, that I had asked them I don’t know what, that they had left to send some horses, some roosters, I don’t know what son of a bitch, he told me a bit of güevonadas there, but I didn’t see him dizzy with me.
Grate: Evaluate the topic very well and make it…
Dumax: anyway, brother, be aware of the device more than all brother.
Grate: ready, do it.
Dumax: I’ll come back and call him, it might be tomorrow morning…
Grate: when I can, I’m attentive…
