Retired general appointed by Abelardo de la Espriella to oversee the transition of the Armed Forces was named in the investigation of alias Matamba: why?

An explosive terrorist attack targeted police facilities in Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, leaving 14 people injured, including 11 members of the Metropolitan Police and three civilians. The Colombian Ministry of Defence has identified individuals known as alias David and alias Nay as the intellectual authors of the crime and has offered a reward for information leading to their apprehension.

In a separate political and military development, a retired general previously designated by Abelardo de la Espriella for a military forces transition team ("empalme") was named in an ongoing investigation involving alias Matamba. This connection emerged despite the broader transition process between the incoming administration of Abelardo de la Espriella and outgoing President Gustavo Petro having previously stalled following a political clash.
