A king-pin of organised crime who murdered a woman’s husband eventually got enticed and forced to fall in love with the widow who in the process gave him over to the police.
Determined to exact revenge for the savage assassination of her husband, the widow, a Columbian woman, then transformed herself into a detective, spending years, plotting her retribution, seducing the suspect without his knowledge, and compiling evidence against him.
When the opportunity arose, she provided authorities with information about him, which resulted in his arrest and detention.
The suspect, Rubén Daro Viloria Barrios, had pretended to be a reputable businessman in the village of Ciénaga de Oro, and most people who knew him described him as a highly pious man who taught the word of God, a local news medium revealed.
Nevertheless, he was actually a crime kingpin by the name of “Juancho” who traded weapons and ammunition, ordered assassination attempts against rivals and even erstwhile allies, and organised the shipment of drugs to Central America and the United States.
Revealed the local news medium: “Viloria Barrios eventually grew to trust the woman so much that he shared information about his criminal dealings, which she then turned over to the authorities. Police had been suspecting him since 2020, but without enough evidence to convict him, they were powerless to act. With the information provided by Juancho’s confidant, authorities were able to build a rock-solid case against him.
“It was reportedly the woman who set up Rubén Darío Viloria Barrios to be arrested. She told police that he would be attending a meeting with other criminals in Monteria, and the Special Operations Group of the National Police managed to capture him in what was called the “Corona operation”.
