“What they want to ask is whether Correa carried out the murder on his own or following the instructions of a more powerful Medellin crime syndicate.”, the investigator of the case told EL TIEMPO.
And added, Generally, the mob orders hitmen killed so as not to leave any loose ends. But this time they even owed them money. That’s why they say that even though the Colombian Prosecutor’s Office conducted an investigation in record time and with internationally accepted results, there are still parts that don’t fit.
What is concrete is that Correa is the link between the assassins and the mastermind of the murder of the Paraguayan prosecutor who would become Brazilian gangsters from the First Capital Command. (CCP)He was shot down by Pecci and the DEA.
and yet EL TIEMPO explained that Correa wants to negotiate with the Prosecutor’s Office and that special protection will be given to him if he decides to speak.The DEA pursues other avenues to reach intellectual actors.

Here is the former FAC pilot’s version, according to a close friend: that he was innocent and that his documents appeared on the plane seized for making charter flights and that he received the papers of the pilot who coordinated them..
But There are three other Colombians associated with this case, and one of them may be willing to talk about Brazilian gangsters with tentacles in Colombia..

For this reason, The DEA is trying to link this case to former officer Correa, who is seen in some places as a member of the criminal gang ‘Los Paisas’.forming the so-called ‘Office’.
“He was supposed to be an informant, but it is not the domain of ‘los Paisas’ or ‘la Oficina’ where most of those involved are caught. It is possible that there were other veterans involved.”, assured the federal source. And he said they didn’t rule out extraditions in this case because of their investigations with Pecci.
