The Colombian Prosecutor’s Office has a video showing a Police officer helping to load over 446 kg of cocaine on a Beechcraf plane at the Guaymaral airport, where the anti-narcotics headquarters of Bogota are located.

From that place, the drug was transported to the San Andres Island airport, where authorities found the cocaine camouflaged among COVID-19 masks on May 25. Previously, the shipment could enter the Guaymaral airport because the officials did not register the van that was transporting it. This deliberate omission, however, was detected by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

So far, the Prosecutor's Office has established charges against Juan Cadena and Harold Rivera, the pilots of the Narco Plane, and Police Captain Jorge Aguilar, who asked the security of Providencia island airport to let the drugs pass.

Also involved in the crime were the entrepreneurs of the Interandes Helicopters Company Miguel Jaramillo, and Fernando Escobar, who owned the plane. However, they claimed to be unaware of the contents of the cargo, claiming that their aircraft was rented for humanitarian purposes.
