Jobanis de Jesús Ávila
Jobanis de Jesús Ávila, known by his alias 'Chiquito Malo', is a prominent figure in Colombian organized crime, serving as a leader within the Clan del Golfo, a powerful criminal organization involved in drug trafficking and other illegal activities. Following the arrest of Dairo Antonio Úsuga, alias 'Otoniel', in 2021, Ávila assumed significant command within the clan, orchestrating operations to expand its influence in Colombia. His leadership has been marked by violent confrontations and strategic territorial control, particularly in regions such as Magdalena Medio. As of late 2023, he has been central to ongoing law enforcement efforts aimed at dismantling the Clan del Golfo and addressing its widespread criminal enterprise.
