Alias 'Cuervo', captured after alleged attack on police during University of Antioquia unrest, was not prosecuted
An individual known as alias 'Cuervo', whom authorities allegedly link to the ELN, was captured during unrest recorded at the University of Antioquia for illegal possession of weapons. According to information from El Tiempo, the hooded figure was recorded on video allegedly firing at a uniformed officer.
Despite the severity of the events and the existence of images showing him engaged in armed action, the man was not included among the nine people whom the General Prosecutor's Office decided to prosecute in connection with the unrest. The subject's capture was carried out by authorities in the midst of clashes occurring on the university campus.
The released images show the detainee with his face covered carrying a firearm. The Medellín Mayor's Office supplied the photographs in which he is identified as alias 'Cuervo'. To date, the current whereabouts of the detainee have not been established, nor have the reasons why he was not prosecuted along with the rest of those detained.
The Prosecutor's Office is advancing in the prosecution of nine individuals implicated in the violent acts that occurred during protests at the University of Antioquia. However, the case of alias 'Cuervo' raises questions about why he remained outside of criminal proceedings despite having audiovisual evidence directly linking him to the use of weapons against law enforcement.
