A drug gang seen as Colombia’s most powerful criminal entity has placed a price on the head of one of its biggest enemies.
This enemy is known as “Sombra” (Shadow), and she’s a German shepherd who has discovered up to 10 tonnes of the organization’s cocaine, BBC News reported Tuesday.
The bounty has been issued by the Urabeños, also known as the Gulf clan, and they’ve been cited by the U.S. Justice Department as the “largest and most influential criminal group in Colombia.”
BBC News cited intelligence sources saying that the gang put a price of about C$91,000 on Sombra’s head, and that the dog has been moved from the gang’s operating centre to the airport in Bogota. – READ MORE
