Bogotá faces the challenge of two criminal groups vying for control of illegal markets and territories within the city. Police are working diligently to apprehend them and protect citizens.
One of the criminal groups is the Clan del Golfo, a paramilitary organization operating in several regions of Colombia. The other is the Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang based in Bogotá since 2021. The Clan del Golfo has been sending threatening messages to the Tren de Aragua through flyers, banners, graffiti, and videos. Police have found some of these messages in the neighborhoods of Venecia, Suba, and Ciudad Bolívar. The Clan del Golfo claims to be defending the civilian population.
Police have denied any actual presence of the Clan del Golfo in Bogotá. They maintain that it is a phenomenon of perception and misinformation, and that some local criminal gangs are using the Clan del Golfo's name and symbols to intimidate rivals and extort their victims. Police have stated they have found no evidence that the group in the video belongs to the Clan del Golfo. Authorities have also been monitoring the activities of the Tren de Aragua gang.
Police have launched several operations to prevent violence and ensure public safety in Bogotá. They have increased patrols, checkpoints, intelligence gathering, and coordination with other institutions. They have also asked for the public's cooperation in reporting any suspicious activity or individuals.
Police are determined to confront and dismantle these criminal groups that threaten the peace and security of Bogotá. They are confident they will be able to restore order and tranquility to the city.
