Senafront agents also located facilities to house gang members as well as different types of firearms.
Intelligence agents from the Panamanian security forces and the environmental prosecutor’s office are present on site. These officials destroy the material found and also participate in the search efforts of members of the Gulf Cln.
According to Senafront, four Colombian citizens of Colombian nationality were arrested and it was determined that this mining camp was intended for the extraction of gold.
