Transfers of peace talk inmates reportedly begin from Itagüí prison

Transfers of high-profile inmates involved in urban peace talks have reportedly begun from the Itagüí prison in Colombia. Sources indicate that leaders from some of Antioquia's most feared criminal organizations, including the "Oficina de Envigado," "la Terraza," and "El Mesa," are among those being moved.

The reported transfers come after the Petro government's peace delegation issued a statement regarding the socio-legal space of the prison. According to sources accessed by EL TIEMPO, the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (Inpec) signed a resolution authorizing the movement of these alleged leaders. The resolution reportedly greenlit the transfer of several heads of criminal groups who have served as spokespersons in the urban peace dialogue for the Aburrá Valley.

On Friday, August 7, a convoy, including an Inpec bus, was seen leaving the high-security prison. The identities of the individuals on board remain unknown. When consulted, Inpec sources stated that no official information regarding the resolution or the transfers was available.

Senator Isabel Cristina Zuleta, who previously led the government's delegation in peace dialogues, stated, "I don't know anything about it" when asked about the alleged transfers and whether they signify the official end of the peace dialogue space. The article notes that this is a developing story.
