The escape prompted a large-scale intervention involving over 3,000 law enforcement personnel.
Macias was moved to the maximum-security facility after the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, who had accused Los Choneros and Macías of threatening him and his campaign team.
“Here I am showing my face. I’m not scared of them,” Villavicencio said.
