González Gil was born in Buga, Valle del Cauca, the youngest of a family of eight children dedicated to coffee cultivation.
[2] Due to his intelligence training in Argentina, González was selected to form the Elite Command whose mission was to capture the leader of the Medellín Cartel, Pablo Escobar.
[3] In 1992, when Escobar escaped from prison, the Search Bloc was reactivated and an alliance between the Cali Cartel, paramilitaries; which created Los Pepes.
[5][6][7] His forced resignation, imposed by the government, was apparently due to his closeness to the underworld, although according to Andrés López in his book El Cartel de los sapos, this relationship had been well known since his involvement with the police.
[10][11][12][13][14] At the same time, in Jorge 40's book, he mentions that in May 1997 Salvatore Mancuso and eight other men were imprisoned one night and interrogated by a prosecutor, who, through the efforts of paramilitary leader González, arrived with an order from the police commander to let them go.
