The case was revealed by General Fernando Murillo, director of the Police Gaula, who at a press conference He said that the three captured women were part of the band ‘Las faraonas’, and that they extorted mainly in Bogotá.
“They looked for naive clients in shopping centers or on public roads and offered them sexual services in a place called ‘reserved’, in the La Guaca neighborhood (Puente Aranda town) ”, explained the officer.
The Prosecutor’s Office discovered that once the victim entered the motel with her lover, inside “they took intimate and compromising photographs”, images with which they intimidated him into paying a large sum of money in exchange for not disclosing them on social networks.
According to General Murillo, the deception consisted in the fact that when the extortion victim left the motel with the young woman, a truck closed it on the street, and several men posing as members of the Judicial Police approached him to let him know that the alleged woman was a minor.
“When identifying the woman, it was found that she was a minor. All this was mounted through his ringleader alias ‘Ángela’, so that the victim, who was allegedly abusing a minor, would deliver the sum of 100 million pesos, and if not, they would make public to the media and capture this person ”, detailed the officer.
To give more credibility to this whole plot, Murillo warned that among the extortionists there was a man who posed as a journalist, and that He was specifically in charge of pressuring the victim with the story that he would get that story, with images and everything, in the medium for which he supposedly worked.
The Prosecutor’s Office said, in a statement, that the authorities received two complaints from people who fell into the same trap, but that so far this year there have been at least six similar cases. However, General Murillo added that there would be about 20 victims in total.
