Medellin’s own Teflon Don doesn’t even have a pending parking ticket

Medellin’s own Teflon Don doesn’t even have a pending parking ticket
Feb 19, 2015 posted by Adriaan Alsema

In spite of the US claiming that “Fredy Colas” is one of the main money launderers of Medellin crime syndicate Oficina de Envigado, Police are unable to jail the alleged crime lord as he doesn’t even have an unpaid parking ticket on his name.

Medellin prosecutors found this out — for the second time in half a year — on Wednesday when they arrested the alleged crime shop in the west of the city where Colas resides.

After arriving at the district Prosecutor General’s office in Medellin, the prosecutors discovered that Colas’ criminal record was clean as a whistle. According to weekly Semana, not even one traffic violation was found that could merit the alleged crime lord’s arrest.

This is particularly curious as the State Department included Colas, whose real name is Fredy Alonso Mira, to the kingpin list, claiming he is “an important underboss” of the Oficina that has dominated Medellin’s underworld since its foundation by Pablo Escobar in the 1980s.
