Mario Sarmiento Rojas

Mario Sarmiento Rojas is a former major in the Colombian National Police, who was implicated in a major corruption case involving organized crime, particularly in connection with contraband activities linked to Diego Marín Buitrago, alias 'Papá Pitufo'. His role as a pilot and former private secretary to the director of the Police Anti-Narcotics Unit has raised serious questions regarding his involvement in facilitating criminal operations. Recently, he was released from custody due to procedural delays in his legal proceedings, despite being considered a potential danger to society.
