Between doses, bullets and stolen motorcycles: the raid in Palmyra that exposed the criminal empire of 'the M-20'

Authorities conducted a coordinated operation between the Valley Police's Criminal Investigation Section (Sijín) and the National Prosecution Service, resulting in the arrest of Felipe Corrales Alvarado, known as 'El Cholo,' in flagrante delicto in Palmira. The operation involved a search and seizure at a property in the La Libertad neighborhood, which was allegedly used by members of the organized crime group 'Los M-20' as a center for collecting, packaging, and distributing illicit drugs. Items seized included approximately 1,000 doses of marijuana and cocaine, five caliber 38 cartridges, various car parts, and three stolen motorcycles. One motorcycle had been reported stolen on June 28, during an attack where the victim was shot and remains hospitalized with an uncertain prognosis. The authorities aim to weaken the financial and logistical structure of this criminal organization.
