In addition, during this operation was captured Liliana del Carmen Campos Puello, better known as "La Madame", one of the biggest pimps in Cartagena.
Perhaps one of the most complex and worrisome issues in this situation is that, although the capture of this organization occurred, there are still many places where this crime is committed, including hotels, and there are still other networks of pimps.
Even after the captures in the operation Veta, it was possible to establish the complicity of some members of the Police, El Tiempo mentioned.
