Henry de Jesus Lopez Londoño, or Mi Sangre, a leader of the Colombian Los Urabeños cartel was arrested in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 31 October 2012.
What I want to focus on is the gear of the Grupo Especial de Operaciones Federales escorting Mr. Lopez Londoño.
We see the officers with decked out flat top Swiss SIG SG552 Commando compact assault rifles in 5.56x45 (fire selectors set on SEMI!). The neat thing about this rifle is that they are rather expensive (around $3000 CHF), so they are not very common to see due to their high unit costs.
The optics resemble Aimpoint CompM2s, but its battery location is on the other side. Are these optics Aimpoint clones?
Flashlight appears to be Surefire 6Ps, and unknown laser sight. The right officer also has a Magpul AFG on his carbine, and first officer has an unknown VFG.
Next are the sidearms, they are all seen with Italian Beretta M92s (9mm?). However the left officer carries an additional German H&K USP .45 on his chest rig along with his Beretta on his thigh rig.
This is rather peculiar in my opinion (PDW role?). As tactically this is not very logical (not select fire). Plus he needs to carry additional H&K .45 mags that cannot share with his Beretta.
Perhaps this USP is his personal favorite pistol, and he favors this over his issued M92.
