Authorities in Colombia have arrested a high-ranking member of the Gulf Clan, known as “Zarco,” in Medellín. He is suspected of leading the criminal organization’s operations and serving as a chief hitman in El Bagre, Antioquia. The arrest follows a ten-month joint investigation conducted by the Colombian Army and National Police. “Zarco” is believed to have been a key figure in the region’s criminal activity. The operation highlights ongoing efforts to dismantle the Gulf Clan, one of Colombia’s most powerful drug trafficking groups. Further details regarding charges and potential extradition proceedings have not yet been released. The successful capture represents a significant blow to the group’s leadership structure in Antioquia.
