Carlos Rolando Lizcano
Investigative journalist Roberto Deniz confirmed the alleged arrest of Carlos Rolando Lizcano, identified in journalistic investigations as a close collaborator and key operator of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, as well as his partner Álvaro Pulido.
According to information verified by Deniz through qualified sources, Lizcano was deprived of his freedom on Saturday night during an operation for which no official details have been provided. So far, no authority has publicly confirmed the arrest or specified the agency responsible for the action.
Lizcano’s name has frequently surfaced in investigative reports and within circles linked to Saab and Pulido’s business structure, where he is attributed a significant role in the operational and strategic management of their activities, which are considered vital within the network that operated across various countries for years.

Up to now, authorities have not disclosed the reasons for the alleged arrest, the location of detention, nor whether Lizcano has been presented before a court or faces formal charges. There is also no public confirmation regarding Pulido’s legal status.
Officials’ silence keeps the case ongoing and fuels anticipation for eventual statements that clarify the scope of the actions and the legal implications of a potential arrest connected to the inner circle of Alex Saab, a central figure in multiple international investigations into corruption and opaque financial schemes.
