The Governor of Magdalena department has publicly denounced the national prison system (INPEC) for allowing criminal leaders, known as “Robinsito” and “Negro Ober,” to continue orchestrating criminal activities from prison. She alleges these individuals are directing extortion, threats, and homicides impacting the municipality of Fundación. The Governor is demanding the immediate separation of these alleged ringleaders from the general prison population to curtail their influence. She described the situation as a “national disgrace,” highlighting a perceived failure of the prison system to maintain control. The criticisms center on the ability of incarcerated criminals to maintain operational command of illicit networks. This incident raises concerns about corruption and the effectiveness of security measures within Colombian prisons and their impact on regional stability. The governor’s strong statement signals escalating pressure on INPEC to address the issue.
