But later, thanks to the follow-up work, we obtained a degree of information on the quality of the person, but it was not until the moment that we contacted the victim that we realized 100% that it was the brother of the President, he said.

Medina explained that, they had no confirmation that this group had carried out kidnappings before, but some of those captured had prior criminal records.
