And although the identity of ‘Pinocchio’s’ son has not been revealed, the EL TIEMPO Investigative Unit established with investigators who have participated in intelligence operations against the Conquering Self-Defense Forces what the real name and alias are.
It is about Jhonny Ramiro Castillo Guerrero, alias Comando 96, Diamantico, Triple Cero or JK.
However, members of the Conquering Self-Defense Forces assured this newspaper that ‘Diamantico’, the son of alias Pinocchio, did not lose his life in the operation in which alias Cholo was discharged: “He was not injured either. I do not know if he was at the scene.”
In addition, the same sources assured that he is the son of alias Pinocchio’s first marriage. and that appears alongside other relatives in intelligence organization charts.
Initial versions indicated that alias Diamantico was in the same house that was raided during the Public Force operation. An organizational chart was even presented in which they assured that a subject known as ‘Pinochito’ was Castillo Carillo’s relative. However, the information was denied.

The Investigative Unit of EL TIEMPO investigated and established that Jhonny Ramiro Castillo, ‘Diamantico’, He had already been captured by the authorities in 2023 along with two other people by members of the Sijín of the Santa Marta Metropolitan Police.
At that moment, they raided homes in the sectors of Gaira, 11 de Noviembre and Tayrona.
In some of those properties, the authorities found drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, bazooka and a cigarette making machine.
However, after being arrested, the Prosecutor’s Office refrained from prosecuting the son of ‘Pinocchio’. and asked for his freedom for supposedly having nothing to do with the raids and the drugs found.
At that time, his defense provided evidentiary materials and argued that his client was a consumer. of narcotic substances and that required therapeutic treatment, not a penitentiary measure.
