¡Mi orden ha sido clara: combatir sin tregua la minería ilegal que depreda nuestros ecosistemas y alimenta el terrorismo! En el sector de Río Viejo, sobre el río Nechí, en El Bagre (Antioquia), la Policía Nacional, el Ejército y la Armada ejecutaron la operación Aquiles. Inutilizaron 3 dragones brasileños, 2 excavadoras, 4 dragas tipo buzo y 13 motores industriales usados para extraer oro de manera ilícita. En esa mina se extraían aproximadamente 26,5 kilos de oro al mes, valorados en $11.130 millones en el mercado informal. La subestructura Uldar Cardona Rueda del Clan del Golfo cobraba una extorsión equivalente al 15 % de esa producción: cerca de $1.669 millones mensuales. La inutilización de la maquinaria afectó su cadena logística en $6.264 millones. Cada máquina retirada de este río significa menos contaminación, menos sedimentos y menos daño a su cauce. Seguiremos golpeando las finanzas de los narcoterroristas y defendiendo el río Nechí. ¡Firme por la Patria! ¡Que viva Cristo Rey! (A.D.L.E) 🇨🇴 🐅 #MineríaIlegal #Ecosistemas #Colombia
