After 26 years, the Attorney General’s Office achieved the extinction of ownership of 17 assets that were in the name of figureheads of those responsible for the assault on the Banco de la República in Valledupar
, known as ‘the robbery of the century’, “a subject that has been taken to science fiction, to movies, precisely because of the connotation of the fact,” said Major General Fernando Murillo, director of Gaula.
In October 1994, being almost invisible and without using a single bullet and any type of violence, Hernán Jaramillo and his nephew Jaime Eduardo Gómez Jaramillo, in the company of 12 other thieves, broke into the headquarters of the Cesarean Issuer and stole 24,072 million pesos in cash.
But the misdeeds of the Jaramillos did not stop there and almost two decades later it became evident that these two men returned to crime, now in a gang dedicated to extortion and kidnapping known as La Riviera and nicknamed that for kidnapping the financial manager of that company of perfumes in July 2016.
“These two people bring a record of scams, of thefts
to jewelers, the same theft from the Banco de la República and currently they end up involved in an act of extortionate kidnapping. Hernán Jaramillo has already died, the product of cancer, but he continued to generate criminal activities until the last minute, ”said officer Murillo.
Jaime Eduardo Gómez Jaramillo was captured in October 2019 for the kidnapping of the manager of La Riviera and has a house as a prison, from where he apparently continued to commit crimes.
Now, 26 years later, the authorities seized 17 assets for the purpose of extinction of ownership that would have been acquired illegally and which are valued at more than 20,000 million pesos.
The process took place within the framework of a work between the Prosecutor’s Office and the Gaula called Operation prolific, in which they also captured 70 people in 27 departments.
