Hernán Giraldo Serna, the greatest abuser of minors of the paramilitarism, arrived in the country

This January 25, at 6:25 pm in the afternoon, Hernán Giraldo Serna arrived in Colombia, one of the most bloodthirsty and feared paramilitaries in the country, deported from the United States, where he spent twelve years behind bars for drug trafficking. The announcement was made by Migración Colombia.

The former paramilitary must serve a sentence for the crimes he committed against the civilian population, when he was part of the AUC, this was announced by the Minister of Justice, Wilson Ruiz Orejuela.

This is the moment of your arrival:

Upon arrival, Giraldo Sierra was received by Migración Colombia, which verified his identity, then Interpol made effective the arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Circuit Court of the Justice and Peace Chamber of the Superior Court of Barranquilla.

Minister Ruiz announced that Inpec will define the place of detention for Giraldo Serna.

“The National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (Inpec) must define Giraldo’s detention site, who will be offered the necessary security measures to appear before the Colombian justice and answer for the crimes committed when he was active in the Self-Defense Forces. But above all, so that it offers the victims the guarantees of truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition ”.

It is expected that after extradition, Giraldo Serna spent eight years in prison, within the framework of the Justice and Peace Law of 2005, promoted by the government of former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez for the demobilization of paramilitary groups.

In total, there are two red Interpol circulars, 46 arrest warrants in Colombia and the authorship of 336 war crimes, between 1881 and 1995, which are attributed to him who was known by the aliases of El Patrón, Taladro and El Señor de la Sierra, according to the Justice and Peace Chamber.

Among the 336 war crimes attributed to him are forced disappearance, armed displacement, homicide of a protected person and violent carnal access to a protected person, among others. The rapes of minors and the use of a drill explain the reason for one of his aliases.

At 72 years old, who is known as the greatest sexual predator of the paramilitaries has tried to justify his crimes before the Public Prosecutor’s Office by pointing out that what he is accused of “are not forced rapes; in the countryside it is normal for women with 13 and 14 years to have relationships at that age ”. He says this even when there are complaints against him for the rape of 38 minors, although there are more than 200 victims of his perversions.

What the Prosecutor’s Office has revealed to media such as Semana is that some sons of Taladro, who led more than 1,100 men at the head of the Tayrona Block, are leaders of armed criminal structures formed after the demobilization of the paramilitary groups in the Uribe government, and strengthened in 2012, when the main leaders of the AUC were released from jails. One of these structures is known as The Pachencas, the one that was, apparently, behind the murder of Wilton Fauder Orrego, a forest ranger in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, perpetrated on January 15, 2019.

The Pachencas control drug trafficking in some towns on the Atlantic coast and, according to information from Semana, it is made up of more than ten descendants of Giraldo. Last year, Deimer Patiño Giraldo, Taladro’s nephew, leader of the structure, was killed and his daughters, Gladys Giraldo Contreras, alias La Paraca, and Sirley Milena Giraldo Pérez, alias La Encuestadora, captured.

Portals such as Las 2 Orillas, which have documented the racking of Giraldo and his descendants in Magdalena, speaks of 21 sons of the criminal in charge of not letting the shadow of horror die that the Giraldo surname cause in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
