The prosecution revealed that Lucho Díaz’s parents were deceived and delivered to armed men
The investigations revealed that the player’s parents were deceived with an alleged offer of political support to a relative who aspired to a seat in the Barrancas Council. On the way, they were intercepted by armed subjects and transferred to the Perijá mountain range.
