Two former Navy Member, identified as Jair Alberto Alvarez Valenzuela and Luis Carlos Diaz Martinez, were sent to after being accused of facilitating the monitoring of drug trafficking combat operations. Their performance involved the installation of GPS tracking devices on Navy Vessels, which allowed traffickers to divert cocaine ships. The former wonders reportedly recruited other members of the Navy, offering financial compensations so that they were not detected during smuggling activities.
Alvarez Valenzuela, who has a training in Civil Electromechanical Engineering, was one of the main ones involved in the criminal scheme. The US Department of Justice also revealed that four still active sailors were indicted in the case. These individuals were associated with the Gulf clan, one of Colombia’s most influential drug trafficking organizations, which controls cocaine exports through the Caribbean and Pacific routes. Corruption inside the Navy is a tactic used by drug trafficking, which also uses narcosubmarines and fishermen who act as spies to ensure the delivery of the drug in the United States.
