Colombian DMG With
Possible Ties To Costa
Rica
The Colombian dialy El
Tiempo says that
Colombian authorities
have tracked an
undisclosed amount of
money from the failed
illegal pyramid scheme
in that country to Costa
Rica.
Last month tens of
thousands of Colombians
lost, in some cases,
their life savings in
DMG after it failed and
its founder, David
Murcia Guzmán,
apprehended in Panama on
November 20, after
fleeing Colombia.
The head of the
Colombian national
police, Óscar Naranjo,
said that 30 year old
Murcia was headed for
Costa Rica when he fell
into the hands of
Panamanian authorities.
Yesterday, El Tiempo
reported that the
Colombian Fiscalía
ordered the detention of
17 persons involved in
the DMG scheme that
promised high returns
for a little investment.
Colombian authorities
believe that DMG may
have been used by drug
traffickers to launder
money.
According to the daily,
DMG is also suspected of
investing in the United
States, revealed by
conversations
intercepted by the Drug
Enforcement Agency
(DEA).
In Costa Rica, DMG is to
have made investments by
a Daniel Ángel Rueda, an
associate of Murica who
is believed to have made
deposits and purchased
real estate on behalf of
Murca. However, the
details of any
investment in Costa Rica
are still not known and
not clear which
financial institution or
institutions may have
received the deposits.
Following the failure of
DMG, Colombians took to
the streets of major
cities to demand
government action.
Colombian president,
Alvaro Uribe, responded
by leading the entire
state apparatus to
criminally confront DMG
and try to expose the
magic formula that hides
behind that multimillion
dollar business.
