## Re-Capturing Alias ‘Pichi’: A Conversation with a Security Analyst
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Joining us today is security analyst Dr. Maria Sanchez to discuss the recent re-capture of notorious drug trafficker alias “Pichi.” Dr. Sanchez, thanks for being here.
**Dr. Sanchez:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Let’s dive right in. Alias “Pichi,” also known as the Pablo Escobar of Santander, has been on the run for some time. Can you shed some light on his capture and the significance of this event?
**Dr. Sanchez**: Certainly. Alias “Pichi,” real name Óscar Camargo Ríos, was dramatically recaptured this morning in Copacabana, Antioquia. This was a major operation coordinated by the National Police and the Prosecutor’s Office, which resulted in the capture of two individuals who were serving as his bodyguards. During the raid, authorities seized a powerful Five Seven pistol, ammunition, a drone, eight cell phones, and a substantial sum of cash.
**Host:** This man has a long and brutal history of criminal activity, doesn’t he?
**Dr. Sanchez**: He does. Alias “Pichi” has been a major player in the drug trade for over two decades. He was a key member of the ‘Los Colosos’ drug trafficking organization and headed the criminal group ‘Los Pichis.’ His influence extended through Bucaramanga, where he was involved in drug trafficking and, disturbingly, selective homicides.
**Host:** This recapture appears to be a significant victory for law enforcement. What message does this send to other criminal organizations?
**Dr. Sanchez**: This sends a strong message that the Colombian authorities are committed to bringing dangerous criminals to justice, regardless of their resources or connections. It demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between different law enforcement agencies. This capture should serve as a deterrent to other criminal groups operating in the region.
**Host:** Do you think this will have a significant impact on the drug trade in this area?
**Dr. Sanchez**: While it is a major blow to the organizations “Pichi” was affiliated with, it is unlikely to completely dismantle the drug trade. Drug trafficking is a complex issue with deep roots. However, this capture is a significant step towards weakening these organizations and disarming their operations.
**Host:** Dr. Sanchez, thank you so much for your insights and analysis today.
**Dr. Sanchez: ** It has been my pleasure.
