Bellingcat, @forensicarchi @cerosetenta & @BaudoAP reconstruyeron el asesinato de Lucas Villa, descubriendo nuevas pistas y planteando nuevas preguntas sobre cómo se ha investigado el crimen es.bellingcat.com/noticias/2021/…
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Lucas Villa, un estudiante de 37 años, recibió un disparo mortal en una protesta pacífica en Pereira, Colombia, a principios de este año.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP El brutal incidente causó conmoción en Colombia.

Sin embargo, siete meses después, los asesinos de Lucas Villa siguen prófugos.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Bellingcat y sus socios utilizaron imágenes inéditas de una cámara de seguridad que fueron compartidas por la Comisión de la Verdad de Colombia.

Esto nos permitió reconstruir el incidente.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Dos motocicletas se acercaron al lugar poco después de las 19:30. Un individuo se baja de la motocicleta y corre hacia Villa, disparando ocho veces e hiriendo a Villa en tres ocasiones.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP El presunto asesino salta a la parte trasera de la motocicleta en la que llegó previamente y se escapa junto a otra motocicleta cómplice
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Sin embargo, este no fue el primer avistamiento de estas motocicletas.

Las mismas pueden verse repetidamente dando vueltas por la escena en los 30 minutos antes del tiroteo, lo que sugiere que estaban planeando el ataque y alineando una ruta de escape
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Una herida en la cabeza de Villa mostró abrasiones de pólvora, lo que sugiere que el arma fue disparada al estilo de una ejecución desde una distancia corta.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Aún no está claro por qué Lucas Villa fue elegido por los asesinos, pero la evidencia parece sugerir que el ataque fue premeditado y dirigido.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Minutos más tarde, agentes de policía llegaron en una motocicleta a un paso elevado con vista a la escena del crimen. Parecieron detenerse e interactuar con algunas personas antes de continuar.

Otro vehículo policial pasó sin detenerse poco después.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP La policía también parece haber perdido varias oportunidades para proteger la escena del crimen, lo que llevó a que la evidencia se perdiera y los testigos se fueran sin ser interrogados.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Los videos de las redes sociales muestran automóviles y motocicletas a toda velocidad por la escena del crimen con la vía abierta al tráfico una vez que todos los manifestantes se habían dispersado. Es probable que la evidencia clave se haya alterado o perdido
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Un video en vivo de Facebook,que terminó 46 minutos después del tiroteo, mostró que la policía aún no había llegado al lugar.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Esto parece contradecir las palabras del General Fernando Murillo, Director de la DIJIN, quien dijo que los agentes llegaron “en forma inmediata” a la escena del crimen y comenzaron los “actos urgentes” de resguardar y analizar el sitio.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Las imágenes de CCTV fueron vitales para investigar este caso, por lo que Bellingcat buscó averiguar qué otras imágenes de cámaras de seguridad podrían estar disponibles.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Bellingcat encontró archivos de licitaciones estatales donde se informa el estado operativo de las cámaras de seguridad del viaducto tres días antes del ataque

Si bien la cámara más cercana a la escena del crimen estaba fuera de servicio, otras podrían resultar útiles
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Una cámara podría haber captado a los asesinos escapando, mientras que otra podría haber ayudado a informar a la policía del incidente antes si estaba siendo monitoreado.
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Al momento de la publicación, las autoridades investigadoras en Colombia no han dado a conocer más información sobre las imágenes de las cámaras de seguridad en ó alrededor de la escena del crimen

Lucas Villa, a 37-year-old student, was fatally shot at a peaceful protest in Pereira, Colombia, in May

Bellingcat, @ForensicArchi @cerosetenta & @BaudoAP reconstructed the incident, finding new clues & raising questions about how it has been investigated bellingcat.com/news/2021/12/0…
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP The brutal incident caused outrage in Colombia, which had been engulfed in protests over proposed tax reforms

Yet seven months on, Lucas Villa’s killers remain at large
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Bellingcat and partners were aided by hitherto unseen CCTV footage shared by Colombia’s Truth Commission as well as social media video taken at the scene.

This allowed us to forensically reconstruct the incident

6 letters of graffiti in a photo for only seven minutes – that's all it took for @ColborneMichael to start following a trail in Serbia that led right to US white supremacist Robert Rundo – a man Serbian authorities kicked out of the country in February.
bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
In November 2020 @ColborneMichael showed how US white supremacist Rob Rundo was building a base for himself and his activities in the Serbian capital.
bellingcat.com/news/2020/11/1…
A few months later, in February 2021, Serbian authorities expelled him from the country into Bosnia. Since then Rundo's laid low, assumed to be in Bosnia. But after one of his far-right comrades described him publicly as being "on the run again," we wondered where he could be.

Bellingcat delved into the German-language QAnon ecosystem to track the conspiracy's spread in Europe.

Trends observed included an interest in open source investigative tools that appeared influential in creating new & potentially harmful conspiracies.

bellingcat.com/news/2021/11/2…
The research gathered millions of posts from Telegram channels that regularly shared QAnon-related content. Image
It found that many of the same conspiracies, as well as mantras encouraging self learning and independent online discovery popular in English language QAnon communities, were also apparent in German language QAnon channels.

Today, Bellingcat & @the_ins_ru publish “Inside #Wagnergate” – a year-long investigation that establishes the circumstances around the Ukrainian operation to capture dozens of mercenaries who fought for Russia-supported military entities in Eastern Ukraine bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
We have established that the elaborate sting was conducted by Ukraine’s military intelligence service, GUR MOU, with support of the domestic intelligence agency, the SBU.
The plan was presented to Ukraine’s political leadership in June '20 & approved in early July '20
But the decision to delay the op in late July led to its spectacular demise
The mercenaries were detained in Belarus before they could be captured by Ukraine & repatriated to Russia

Bellingcat has identified the individual who fell from a window of the Russian Embassy in Berlin & died as the son of FSB's Director of the Directorate for Protection of Constitutional Order, the same FSB squad that follows and poisons Russian dissidents.
bellingcat.com/news/2021/11/0…
German intelligence sources told Der Spiegel that they suspected the diplomat, who served as a second secretary at the embassy, was in fact an undercover FSB officer and was related to a high-ranking FSB general. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
Car and address registration data from leaked Cronos databases freely available on the internet shows that the diplomat was registered at the same address as the general both in Moscow and, previously, in Rostov where the family hails from.

Documents from the Russian Department of Internal Security newly acquired by @the_ins_ru and Bellingcat appear to acknowledge that data used by our investigative team is legitimate data of FSB officers from cellular phone operators.
theins.ru/politika/246166
The documents examined by Bellingcat and @the_ins_ru relate to a criminal case against a former fitness trainer who obtained data from cellular operators with fake documents. ImageImage
These documents run counter to the statement from President Putin that documents used in our investigations are “legalisation of foreign special service materials”
