A prosecutor assigned to the Casanare Section prosecuted Braulio Javier Hernández Marín and Jenny Alexandra Ospina Vásquez, for their alleged participation in the kidnapping of a woman in Casanare.
The kidnapping took place on November 14, 2023 on a farm located in the rural area of Hato Corozal, where the victim was stripped of his belongings and taken to an unknown location by six people, apparently including those currently prosecuted, who would do part of the criminal group ‘Los del Norte’.
After a demand of 800 million pesos in exchange for not attacking the woman, the family managed to pay 110 million to the kidnappers. The victim was released on November 20 in Paz de Ariporo.
Hernández Marín and Ospina Vásquez were captured in Villavicencio (Meta) and Bogotá, respectively, by Gaula Casanare. The Prosecutor’s Office charged them with the crimes of extortionate kidnapping and qualified theft, charges that were not accepted by the defendants.
The judge imposed a security measure in prison against Hernández Marín and house arrest for Ospina Vásquez.
