Leader of Columbian Gang ‘The Satans’ Wanted for Murder Arrested Posing as ‘Asylum Seeker’ in Texas

A gang leader wanted in Colombia on murder charges was arrested in Central Texas this week attempting to seek asylum.

Federal and local authorities apprehended Venezuelan national Aberdiss Pirela in New Braunfels on Tuesday, according to Homeland Securities Investigations, charging him with drug trafficking and extortion.

Pirela, one of the seven most-wanted men in Colombia, was reportedly second in charge of the “Los Satanas” gang, which was accused of killing a butcher in the capital city of Bogota last week.

Pirela was reportedly wanted in connection with four homicides and was also one of Interpol’s top 10 most wanted.


Despite being in the United States, Bogota police said Pirela kept in “constant contact” with the gang’s hitman coordinator, who according to The Daily Mail “allegedly had a role in the March 7 butcher shop attack.”

The Mail reports Pirela fled Venezuela to Colombia then managed to travel to the United States via the Darien Gap in Panama.

Ultimately, Colombian police said they learned Pirela was headed to the United States after other gang members posted a selfie on Facebook on Jan. 1 disclosing their location in Mexico.

After Pirela crossed the border on Jan 2, he requested the US grant him political asylum on Jan. 7 and was released into the country.

“Investigators would learn on January 27 that he and his associates were operating Los Satanás gang activities from a shelter in Texas and instructing gang members in Bogotá,” the Mail reports.

The investigation was aided by FBI and Homeland Security Investigations, who contacted Colombian police to inform them Pirela was in the country.

After searching a listed address in Denver, police “were able to track him down in Texas and arrested him while he was walking on a street Tuesday,” the Mail writes.

Bogota Metropolitan Police commander, general José Gualdrón, warned that fugitives wanted for committing heinous crimes would be hunted down and found.

“There will be no territory where these criminals can hide. We will capture them and bring them to justice,” Gualdrón said. “Our priority: ensuring the safety and tranquility of the people of Bogotá.”

The incident is a stark illustration of how the Biden regime’s porous open border is allowing criminals to freely cross into the country and endanger the lives of Americans.
