Father of Colombian Singer Greeicy Rendón Arrested in Kidnapping and Torture Investigation
Colombian authorities arrested Luis Alberto Rendón, the father of singer and actress Greeicy Rendón, on Sunday, October 12, following allegations of his involvement in a serious judicial case involving kidnapping and torture. The arrest stems from an investigation into the illegal detention and assault of two men believed to be connected to a significant robbery that took place earlier this year.
Million-Peso Robbery at Rendón Family Property
The investigation centers around a robbery reported in May 2023 at a farm owned by the Rendón family, located in the Llanogrande sector, east of Medellín. The stolen items included jewelry, money, and other valuables, totaling an estimated 1.7 billion pesos. Initial reports indicate that security personnel detained two workers at the property for questioning regarding the incident, and subsequently subjected them to physical abuse and threats.
Details of the Alleged Abuse Emerge
According to investigators, one of the men detained detailed a harrowing experience of violence. “They hit me with a hammer on my arm and chest. I began to lose consciousness from the loss of blood and the blows. They put the barrel of the gun in my mouth and told me that if I didn’t speak I would face the consequences,” he recounted. The severity of the alleged abuse has prompted a thorough investigation by the Attorney General’s Office.
Investigation and Next Steps
The Attorney General’s Office is currently preparing to present material evidence linking Luis Alberto Rendón to the events that transpired during the unofficial proceedings to investigate the theft. As of now, Greeicy Rendón has not issued a public statement regarding her father’s arrest. The case remains active, and authorities anticipate announcing details regarding the charging hearing and subsequent judicial measures in the coming days.
