Medellin mayor's neighbor turns out to be alleged paramilitary chief
by Adriaan Alsema January 7, 2019
One of the alleged top commanders of paramilitary group AGC has been living in the same building as Medellin‘s mayor without any security agency ringing the alarm.
Authorities arrested Juan Pablo Usuga, a nephew of AGC leader “Otoniel,” in Carepa, Antioquia on Friday, 10 years after he reportedly joined the AUC dissident group and took on the alias of “Reseco.”
According to Defense Minister Guillermo Botero, Reseco was the finance chief of the AGC’s “Carlos Vasquez Front” in the Uraba region, the paramilitary group’s stomping ground.
Despite his top position in the country’s largest illegal armed group, Reseco and his family moved into Medellin Mayor Federico Gutierrez‘ building eight months ago without any alarm bells going off.
