Edwin Gerardo Figueroa Sepúlveda, 39, of Bogata, was accused of being part of a six-man robbery team who carried out “millionaire’s rides” where victims are lured into taxi cabs, then kidnapping and robbing them with the help of assailants in a tail car.

One of the men, Andres Alvaro Oviedo-Garcia, was charged with assault and his role in trying to cover up the crime. The Justice Department in its statement of facts contends that Oviedo-Garcia washed the taxi cab where the crime occurred, removing Watson’s blood stains from the back seat and discarding the cleaning materials before turning the vehicle over to Colombian National Police for evidence.
