The recording of these criminal acts revealed the bold strategy of this individual to generate terror and reinforce his control over the area.
The charges against Acosta Sánchez include aggravated criminal conspiracy, aggravated attempted extortion, and manufacturing, trafficking, carrying or possession of firearms.

Rafael Otálvaro, Secretary of Security of Itagüí, added: “The captured man sought to instill fear in the inhabitants of the El Manzanillo district in order to collect extortion and commit crimes in this area. With his capture and the recent operations, we can consider this gang dismantled.”
