Colombian armed forces have delivered significant blows to the Gulf Clan Cartel, killing and arresting high-profile members, including commanders and close allies of Jobanis de Jesús Ávila, alias "Chiquito Malo," its current leader.
The National Army of Colombia shared a post on social media on Tuesday announcing that eight members of Colombia's largest cartel had died in clashes with security forces at the municipalities of Cáceres and Tarazá, in the Antioquia province.
