Around 5 in the morning on Wednesday, June 24, the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police deployed an operation in the north of Barranquilla to carry out 6 arrest warrants for those identified. members of a violent gang dedicated to the so-called drip business in the capital of Atlántico and its metropolitan area.
Attention focused on Luis Mariano Díaz González, one of the sons of the late vallenato singer Diomedes Díaz, who appears as one of the links in the network that kidnapped and tortured people who did not want to pay the money for illegal loans.
The heir’s business
Until today, what was known about Díaz González is that he had a livestock company, trade in hardware and alcoholic beverages in Barranquilla.
This is a firm established since July 2020 known as Soluciones LMD, located in the exclusive Riomar neighborhood, in the north of Barranquilla.
Furthermore, he led an expensive lifestyle that included trips abroad, the purchase of an apartment in Bogotá and the acquisition of motorcycles.
However, for several months there have been two judicial proceedings against him, one of them in the municipality of Tubará (Atlántico) carried out by the second local Prosecutor’s Office of Puerto Colombia, so it would be a personal injury case.
The lawyer’s version
And the other file that remains private, was being advanced by the court promiscuous third municipal of Puerto Colombia.
This is where he would appear alongside other defendants.
EL TIEMPO contacted Andrés Felipe Pineda, Díaz González’s attorney, who assured that although he has represented him in other processes, he is not sure why he was detained in Barranquilla.
“It is in a police station and until now the connection is being made. Normally I communicate with a sister but for now the family has not authorized to make any additional comments regarding the case,” Pineda said.
