An investigation by Noticias Caracol revealed recordings of a conversation between the then High Commissioner for Peace, Danilo Rueda, and the spokesperson for the Gulf Clan, Luis Armando Pérez Castañeda ("Bruno"), from September 2, 2022. In it, Rueda proposed a "game of frozen" where everyone —including the Public Force and criminal groups— would halt their offensive actions. As a gesture of peace, Rueda committed to ceasing bombings, purging police and military intelligence, and suspending extradition requests.
