In that operation, the authorities seized computers, telephones, hard drives and other electronic devices, which were subjected to chain of custody and legalized before judges of the Republic. The Dijín of the National Police assumed the extraction and analysis of the digital information, generating five technical reports, the last of which was delivered on June 26, 2025 to the specialized prosecutor against Criminal Organizations of Medellín, responsible for the investigation.
On September 24, Attorney General Luz Adriana Camargo Garzón ordered a new crossing and analysis of data, along with a display of investigative acts to validate the evidence before the Judiciary. The large amount of information found is still being verified.
The seized devices have allowed 28 dissidents from the 36th front of the FARC to be prosecuted in Antioquia.

Regarding Alexander Díaz Mendoza, alias Calarcá, Erlinson Echavarría Escobar, Juan Antonio Agudelo Salazar and Diana Carolina Rey Rodríguez, the Prosecutor’s Office clarified that “they were not captured that day, because the arrest warrants issued against them and those that could be issued in the future were previously suspended.within the framework of the provisions contained in Law 2272 of 2022 and resolutions 0005 of January 16, 2024 and 0282 and 0283 of July 4 of the same year.
The Attorney General ordered the immediate intervention of the delegate against Organized Crime to promote new lines of investigation into “possible co-option of intelligence agents and members of the National Army by the FARC dissidents, threats to national security, financing of the campaign for the Presidency, alliances between different illegal actors and creation of surveillance companies at the service of criminal structures.”

The Prosecutor’s Office reported that the recovered devices have remained in the custody of the Dijín since their seizure, and described it as “alarming that their content had become publicly known, in clear violation of the principle of confidentiality that governs criminal proceedings.”
