BOGOTA – The murder of a Paraguayan prosecutor known for fighting organized crime was likely the victim of “transnational” criminals working across borders, the head of Colombia’s police said Wednesday, as both countries pledged to probe the high-profile hit.
Prosecutor Marcelo Pecci, 45, was shot dead on the island of Baru near the Caribbean city of Cartagena on Tuesday while on his honeymoon with his wife.
Gen. Jorge Luis Vargas, head of Colombia’s national police, told reporters the “big hypothesis” is that Pecci’s killing was likely related to his prosecutions in Paraguay, which often focused on high-stakes anti-money laundering and anti-drug cases.
