Colombian drug trafficking and paramilitary organization formed after the demobilization of the AUC between 2004 and 2006. Active from 2006 to 2011, it was involved in drug trafficking, extortion, racketeering, and kidnapping. Led by Vicente Castaño, the group operated primarily in Norte de Santander and Barrancabermeja. It ceased to exist around 2011, with the name later used as a franchise by unrelated criminal gangs.
