The documents reveal how the 'Gulf clan' tries to expand into the Coffee Axis through payments by Nequi and local informants

The article reports on intelligence findings revealing how the armed group 'clan del Golfo' has attempted to expand its criminal networks into strategic areas like the San Juan corridor, which connects Risaralda to Chocó. The group uses tactics such as recruiting minors, controlling illicit economies including drug trafficking and illegal mining, and employing civilian informants paid via platforms like Nequi. These informants receive salaries close to the minimum wage, while higher-ranking members are paid over 3 million pesos. Military operations in Risaralda have led to the capture of over 70 members, including six key figures such as 'Barbas,' 'Colonia,' 'El Indio,' 'El Cholo,' 'Ever,' and 'Chucky,' who was linked to child exploitation and other serious crimes.
