Through these results it was possible to prevent the reactivation of the so-called Fifth Front, under the criminal direction of alias Primo Gay.
Within the framework of military operations against FARC dissidents, troops of the Infantry Battalion No. 10 Coronel Atanasio Girardot, of the Fourth Brigade, in coordination with the Medellín Organized Crime CTI (Technical Investigations Corps) and the Antioquia CTI (Technical Investigations Corps) of the Attorney General's Office, engaged clashes with alleged members of the finance group of the Residual Organized Armed Group (GAO-r) Structure 36, at the service of alias Lobo, accused of being the right-hand of alias Primo Gay, in the rural area of the municipality of San Andrés de Cuerquia, northern Antioquia.
As a result of the military action, two alleged members of this structure were arrested and six rifles, three pistols, more than 1,300 cartridges of different calibers, 26 rifle magazines and five pistol magazines, one grenade, three explosive devices, six cell phones and military accessories were seized.
Alias Lobo, who has more than five years of criminal experience, has an arrest warrant for the crimes of aggravated homicide, association to commit aggravated crimes, manufacturing, trafficking and carrying of weapons and ammunition for the exclusive use of the Military Forces; and illegal use of uniforms and badges. According to military intelligence, this individual was at the scene of the events; however, he allegedly fled along with other members of the armed group.
Through this result of the military operation, the armed subsystem is hit, as well as the logistical resources of the FARC dissidents in the north of Antioquia, especially in the municipalities of San Andrés de Cuerquia and Toledo. In the same way, their expansion plans are hit, taking into account that this armed group would be in charge of the reactivation of the so-called Fifth Front, under the criminal direction of alias Primo Gay.
According to military intelligence, this structure would have arrived in San Andrés de Cuerquia from the municipality of Briceño and would be responsible for occupying the area of criminal interference left by the alias 09 group, which was eliminated after military operations carried out in September 2025 by troops of Colombian National Army, as well as carrying out criminal intelligence activities and planning terrorist acts against military units and the critical construction of the region.
In this way, Colombian National Army reaffirms its commitment to the security of the territory, and the dismantling, for the second time, of this group. The troops will continue to carry out military operations that will neutralize the resources of this organized armed group that has hit the tranquility of the communities.
