Digno Palomino
Digno Palomino is identified as a key figure in a criminal organization known as 'los Costeños', associated with extortion and drug trafficking in Barranquilla, Colombia. His operations involved the acquisition of luxurious properties and businesses using illicit funds, which were later seized by authorities. Palomino has been linked to the financial management of this criminal network and directed the purchase of assets through third parties to obscure the origins of the money. Despite being a prominent player in organized crime, his influence was notably marked by the assassination of his right-hand man, Wilmer Ariza Sánchez, alias Matacaballo, in August 2024.
