Crime syndicate that sent women abroad carrying drugs inside their bodies in Colombia dismantled

The Colombian Attorney General's Office dismantled a drug trafficking syndicate that deceived women and persuaded them to travel abroad with drugs hidden inside their bodies. Operating in the Medellín and San Andrés regions, the organization targeted vulnerable women to smuggle cocaine and cannabis into prisons in Colombia and to countries such as Spain and Mexico.

Legal proceedings were initiated against nine suspects, believed to be members of the syndicate, during the operation. As part of the investigation, numerous suspects were apprehended, including Carlos Gary Ruiz Taborda, who goes by the alias 'El Mago' and is believed to be the leader of the organization. It was decided that the suspects would be arrested and sent to prison for national and international drug trafficking.

An examination of the incident's details revealed that the syndicate forced women to conceal drugs inside their bodies, disregarding their health and lives. These illegal methods employed by the criminal organization reached a dangerously severe level, resulting in the death of one of the victims.

Evidence obtained by authorities confirmed that the criminal network also arranged drug shipments to various other countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and the Dominican Republic. It was reported that the organization's members were responsible for finding and persuading vulnerable women, as well as smuggling small amounts of drugs into prisons.
