National Police officer Daniela Echeverry Gomez, 27, is accused of human trafficking and incitement to prostitution by authorities in Bolivar Department, Colombia.

She was seized by her own colleagues in Cravo Norte on Sunday, 18th December, and remanded in jail on Monday, 26th December.

The Attorney General’s Office says she belonged to a network that sexually exploited minors and vulnerable foreign women in Cartagena and its islands.

According to reports, she was in the National Police for five years and worked in the Childhood and Adolescence Division of the Metropolitan Command.

Another woman is charged in the same case with human trafficking, incitement to prostitution, and using children to commit criminal offences.

She has been named as 34-year-old Bertha Ramirez Torres, reportedly a foreign national.

The investigation into the women began eight months ago following a series of complaints to police and the Attorney General’s Office.

Echeverry had once been hailed as a hero after she led a group that on 29th November 2018 rescued a four-day-old baby who had been abandoned in a dumpster.

She was praised at the time for remaining with the newborn as he was taken to a health facility for a check-up and treatment.
