Herman Ortiz Zaruma

Herman Ortiz Zaruma, alias 'Esneider', is a significant figure within the criminal organization known as 'Comandos de la Frontera'. Recently captured by the Colombian military, he was the commander of Estructura 48 and was involved in various criminal activities, including arms trafficking and orchestrating targeted killings in the Putumayo region. With a criminal history spanning nine years, he rose through the ranks from a low-level guerrilla fighter to a key leader, known for his expertise in guerrilla warfare and logistics. His arrest is seen as a major blow to the organization, as he was responsible for maintaining their supply of weapons and coordinating their operations.
