The government of Abelardo de la Espriella would accept the surrender of alias Digno Palomino, leader of Los Pepes: it asked the Prosecutor's Office to evaluate the request

The administration of President Abelardo de la Espriella has indicated a willingness to accept the legal submission of Digno Palomino, a leader of the criminal group known as Los Pepes. The government has formally requested that the Prosecutor's Office evaluate the request submitted by Palomino to determine the viability of his surrender to the justice system.

This development follows an expression of intent from Palomino two weeks ago, in which he signaled his desire to submit to judicial authorities and respond to the administration's call. The government's decision to involve the Prosecutor's Office marks a formal step in addressing the criminal leader's petition within the framework of the current administration's security and justice policies.
