About this statute

This provision is the law’s preamble: it says the law strengthens the investigation and prosecution of criminal organizations and sets measures to bring them under justice. This article says the law applies to investigations and prosecutions of organized criminal groups (GDO) and organized armed groups (GAO), and that Title III applies only to GAO. This article defines GAO and GDO and says prior qualification by the National Security Council is needed to treat a case as a GAO. This provision adds Article 182A to Law 599 of 2000 and punishes members, front men, or collaborators of organized criminal or armed groups who use coercion to block PDET progress or other implementation activities under the Final Agreement. This provision adds a rule that increases the penalty by one third when the conduct is committed by members of organized criminal groups or organized armed groups.
