Chilean police extradited to Colombia on Saturday Jhon Camilo Florez Moreno, alias El Ñoño, who was wanted by that country's authorities for homicide, and is also suspected of leading the international criminal gang Los Shottas, according to a statement from the Police of Investigations (PDI). Florez Moreno fled to Chile, where he entered through an unauthorized border crossing, and after several police operations, was arrested in Curicó, about 200 kilometers south of Santiago, on September 5 of last year, the note stated. Los Shottas is a criminal organization based mainly in the Colombian port municipality of Buenaventura and is dedicated to drug and arms trafficking, assassination, and smuggling. On Friday, Colombia also approved the extradition of Dayonis Orozco, accused of the murder of the carabinier Emmanuel Sánchez in April 2024 in Santiago, and also of the murder of the former Venezuelan lieutenant Ronald Ojeda, a political asylum seeker in Chile who was kidnapped in February 2024 by a group of men dressed as Chilean police officers. So far, several members of a faction of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua have been detained in Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the United States, but the intellectual authors of the crime have yet to be determined. Cordero described the Orozco case as 'emblematic' due to 'the crimes he has been involved in' and assured that the Chilean police in Bogotá 'are especially focused on ensuring that this process in the final stage is handled very expeditiously'.
