Henry Loaiza Ceballos aka El Alacrán (The Scorpion) is a former Colombian drug trafficker and a member of the Cali Cartel.
"[1] On August 4, 2006, a higher court in the city of Ibagué attempted to release Loaiza after serving 11 of his 18-years' sentence to prison for creating illegal paramilitary groups in the Departments of Valle del Cauca and Tolima.
The National Penitentiary and Prison Institute, (INPEC) requested the Attorney General's office and the DAS Security Service to inform them of whether Loaiza had any other judicial processes against him.
[3] A local attorney pertaining to the Life and Personal Integrity Unit in Ibagué requested a warrant once again against Loaiza for homicide, production, traffic and possession of illegal weapons and munition.
[7] This low profile, however, was accompanied by frequent visits by unknown individuals in luxurious motorcycles and cars, which called the attention of police officers.
