Colombians, Costa, the leader who sowed fear in Bosa and Kennedy, falls along with his 17 men. Let's begin. Organized crime, which sought to take over our neighborhoods, has just received one of its most decisive blows in recent years, and with this we are delivering results. Because the homeland does not bow down to delinquency, to criminality. Under the direction of the Bogotá Metropolitan Police Command and with the deployment of all its investigative, intelligence and operational action capabilities, Cipol and Gaula at the forefront, the authorities of the Republic materialized the direct and structural impact on the organized criminal group Tren de Aragua in its criminal arm in Bosa. It is important to note that we are not talking about an isolated operation, we are talking about a simultaneous, surgical, coordinated operation that struck at the very heart of this structure. The operation was carried out in a synchronized manner in the Bogota localities of Kennedy and Bosa and at the same time in the cities of Barranquilla, in the department of Atlántico, Cartagena in the department of Bolívar and Tunja in Boyacá. Four cities, four territories, one single will: that of a state that does not negotiate with crime and that pursues criminals wherever they try to hide, because there are no longer borders for impunity in this country, because there is no longer any corner of the national territory where a criminal can feel safe. The result is conclusive, and we say it without mincing words. Alias Costa, the leader of this criminal arm, was captured. He was the man who directed the criminal activities of this structure from the shadows, and along with him, 17 other members of this organization were captured. In total, 18 people are now facing justice for the crimes of extortion, drug trafficking, manufacturing or carrying narcotics, and conspiracy to commit crimes. 18 arrests that mean relief for thousands of families, that mean peace of mind for merchants, for drivers, for young people, for humble workers, who go out every day to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. And we want to pause for a moment to consider the magnitude of what this represents because we are not talking about just any criminal. Alias ​​Costa, according to the investigations, would be responsible for ordering targeted killings, profiling the victims, studying them, following them, deciding who lives and who dies, as if he had a right over the lives of others. He would also be responsible for directing extortion against merchants and informal drivers. These citizens who get up early every day, who provide for their families every day, and who were forced to hand over up to 1,300,000 pesos weekly through Nequi, under threat, under fear, under the most vile extortion imaginable. 1,300,000 each week. Think for a moment, fellow countrymen, about what that could mean. Think about the number of dreams that are cut short, the number of businesses that go bankrupt, the number of families that have to remain silent, that have to submit, that have to pay in order to survive. That's the price of fear. That was the price of extortion. And today that price is ending. Today that ringleader is behind bars. Today, the extortion that was suffocating our many people receives a blow from which they will hardly be able to recover. Today, extortion is on the decline. Today, fear recedes. Today, crime is declining. Today hope is advancing, and this is not a victory for a government, an institution, or a party. It is a victory for all of Colombia, for a people who are tired of being silent , for a country that decided to rise up and tell criminality that there is a limit here, that there is dignity here, and that there is a homeland that is willing to defend itself. This is the path, this is the direction, and although there is still a long way to go, although the struggle is long and the challenges are enormous, every operation, every capture, every blow against organized crime brings us closer to the Colombia we dream of, to that safe Colombia, to that real Colombia, at peace, to that Colombia that our children, our future generations, deserve. Colombians, we here remain firm, we continue working, we continue moving forward and every day we are closer to the homeland of Milagro.
