"You beat me" - Part 3: Clan del Golfo: The Fall of Otoniel
Listen now
Description
As the net begins to close on Otoniel, life on the run is hard. Deep in the jungles of Úraba, he never stays in a single place for more than two nights, he no longer communicates using phones and he stays away from urban centres for fear of capture. But he still runs the largest organized criminal group in Colombia. One by one, other senior members of Clan del Golfo are picked off. But Otoniel continues to evade law enforcement in a constant game of cat and mouse. But now, Operation Agamemnon is in full swing with Search Bloc, the Colombian army and international partners hunting Otoniel - and when he is finally captured it's reported that he said "You beat me". This is part 3 of Clan del Golfo: The Fall of Otoniel. Speakers: Angela Olaya, the Co-founder and Senior Researcher at the Conflict Responses Foundation in Colombia. Toby Muse, Foreign Correspondent, documentary filmmaker and author of the book Kilo: Life and Death inside the secret world of the cocaine cartels. Jorge Mantilla, the Director of Conflict Dynamics and Organized Violence, Ideas for Peace Foundation and a member of the GI network Related Links: Toby Muse - Kilo: Life and Death inside the secret world of the cocaine cartels Insight Crime - Dairo Antonio Usuga "Otoniel" Profile teleSUR - A Look into 'Clan del Golfo,' Colombia's Largest Paramilitary Group el Colombiano - Siete líneas guiarán al Ejército nacional Los Informantes - Las chicas del clan: alias ¿Otoniel? y su red de prostitución de menores el Heraldo - “Somos hombres de Dios”, el mensaje de alias Otoniel al Papa Reuters - Colombian police capture sister of Clan del Golfo leader Otoniel El Tiempo - Cayó alias Otoniel, el narcotraficante más buscado del país | El Tiempo Semana - Presidente Iván Duque entrega detalles de la captura de alias Otoniel The Guardian - Colombia’s most-wanted drug lord, Otoniel, captured in jungle hideout BBC - Colombia's
