Authorities in Colombia are bolstering security at the Itagüí prison following intelligence suggesting a planned escape attempt by dangerous criminals. Medellín City Council President Alejandro de Bedout revealed information regarding the potential operation designed to release inmates before the inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella. The Fiscalía (Prosecutor’s Office), INPEC (National Penitentiary and Prison Institute), and the Police are coordinating to thwart the escape. Details of the plan remain undisclosed to avoid compromising the ongoing security measures. This preventative action highlights concerns about maintaining order within the prison system during periods of political transition. Officials are determined to prevent these criminals from evading justice and potentially destabilizing the region. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as appropriate.
