According to the director of the Gaula of the National Police, Colonel Giovanni Cristancho Zambrano, there are audios that would make clear the intentions of extortion on the part of the three players. Therefore, his sentence would go in that direction.
The pain that the footballers would face
Apparently, according to the version handled by the authorities, the affected young woman’s cell phone was stolen eight days ago, in a public establishment in the capital of the department of Caldas. However, it has not been determined that the players were there.
“They say they found the cell phone”Colonel Cristancho Zambrano expressed in a chat with ‘Blu Radio’.
After reiterating that everything indicates that the players are not part of any criminal network, the Gaula director assured: “Normally, because they do not have a criminal record and because they are not a danger to society, the judge can determine that they do not go to prison. That will have to be determined by the judge, but in these cases other types of security measures are taken ”.
“They generated fear and fear in the victim, her friends, the mother and the whole circle,” added Cristancho Zambrano, asking for an exemplary punishment for those captured.
