According to authorities, nine people were detained for being allegedly a part of a criminal organization that committed deal killings against prominent immigrants in Medellin and other Brazilian cities.

According to the mayor Federico Gutierrez, who referred to his organization as" La Oficina Premium" ( The Premium Office ), the group allegedly charged between$ 400, 000 and$ 500, 000 per attack, depending on the victim's profile. During an initial activity to combat arms trafficking, the detainees were taken into custody in a residence in Medellin. Police seize 29 cell phones, three computers, and two devices, as well as an Ingram M11 machine gun, some revolvers, and a pistol, which are currently being examined by forensic experts. A resource alerted authorities to the alleged involvement of this organization in at least four killings of foreigners, including an American, an Albanian-Ecuadorian, and a American, according to data obtained from El Colombiano. One of the cases is that of Hispanic technology seller Horacio Perez Ledezma who was killed while having breakfast at a restaurant. The Prosecutor's Office was given the search warrant after learning that the house was used to prepare for murders and provide weapons to hitmen, according to reports from Semana newspaper. Authorities are looking into whether the group was employed by international organizations and whether some of the crimes involved drug and human smuggling disputes. A possible link to criminal networks in Albania, Ecuador, and Colombia is being looked into in the case of Artur Tushi, an Albanian-Ecuadorian man who was killed with 11 shots near the Santafe shopping centre. According to Mayor Gutierrez, the group may be linked to deaths in Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. He added that several of the seized devices had global identifiers, and that documents containing US recommendations were discovered. This opened up opportunities for assistance with local government. The Consolidated Ballistic Comparison System will examine the seized weapons to determine whether they were used in new murders in Medellin and the Aburra Valley. The group preferred to use shotguns because there is less information on the scene, according to witnesses ' accounts.
