Alias Minga was sentenced in 2014 to 40 years in prison for the death of two people and for causing wounds to three in Izabal. After purging 11 years in prison, a judge ordered him to be allowed to go out with an electronic bracelet of Telematic control.
Gordillo was held in Izabal prison, but in November 2024 he was transferred to the renewal prison 1, because he was allegedly linked to an illegal charges structure to others deprived of liberty, known as Talacha.

The court order details that the expenses for the use of the device will be assumed by the Mingob for the next 29 years, a term issued by the Court.
