Prison for the five captured for the crime of Paraguayan prosecutor Marcelo Pecci

The 12th Criminal Judge with the function of Control of Guarantees of Cartagena sent to jail the five implicated in the crime of the Paraguayan prosecutor Marcelo Pecci, who was leading extensive processes against the mafia.

Francisco Correa Galeano, Eiverson Adrián Zabaleta, Cristian Camilo Monsalve, Marisol Londoño (Colombians) and Wendel Scott Carrillo, a Venezuelan national, were sheltered with an intramural security measure. For this reason, they must complete their judicial process behind bars.

Prior to this decision, they were charged with the crimes of aggravated homicide in heterogeneous competition with the manufacture, carrying, or possession of firearms, accessories, parts, or aggravated ammunition.

These charges were accepted by four of the five accused by the authorities. Francisco Correa Galeano was the only one who pleaded not guilty.

At the end of the hearing held in the bunker of the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation in Cartagena, the detainees were transferred to Bogotá because in the capital of Bolívar there are insufficient security conditions.

At least three of the four involved who accepted the charges would be willing to collaborate with the justice system and would seek a pre-agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office.

The three involved who seek the preliminary agreement will be detained in the bunker of the Bogotá Prosecutor’s Office, while the other two will be sent to a maximum security prison in the capital.

Wendel Scott Carrillo would be the perpetrator of the crime committed on Barú Island on May 10; Francisco Correa Galeano appears in the file as the presumed articulator and financier of the homicide that was ordered from the south of the continent; Eiverson Zabaleta would apparently have been in charge of renting and driving the jet ski; Cristián Camilo Monsalve and Marisol Londoño, his mother, presumably followed Marcelo Pecci. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the latter would have stayed in the same hotel where the victim was with his partner and the purpose was to follow in their footsteps during their honeymoon.

It is known, so far, that those responsible for the crime of Marcelo Pecci, captured in Medellín on June 3, would have been hired for an approximate sum of 500,000 dollars, about 2,000 million pesos.

Paraguayan prosecutor Marcelo Pecci was murdered while enjoying his honeymoon with his wife, Claudia Aguilera, who would make him a father in the coming months, on Barú Island, Cartagena, after receiving three 9-millimeter pistol impacts.
