This is the astonishing number of suspected foreign criminals caught in and around Medellín this year.

In 2026, Colombian authorities captured 26 international fugitives in the Valle de Aburrá region, including those wanted by Interpol for drug trafficking, money laundering, and other serious crimes. Two recent arrests were made in Sabaneta and Envigado, where individuals linked to transnational drug networks were detained. One suspect, known as 'Kokin,' was sought by Costa Rica for involvement in narcotics trafficking and is associated with a group linked to at least 22 murders. Another arrest involved 'Palizada,' who faced a 25-year sentence for cocaine trafficking and coordinated drug shipments to the United States and Europe. The police emphasized these operations as part of broader efforts to combat organized crime through international cooperation and information sharing.
