It specializes in investigating complex and serious crimes, including organized crime, terrorism, and financial crimes. The UCO is currently in the news for its involvement in several high-profile cases. Recent articles mention the UCO's role in the investigation into the death of Francisca Cadenas, whose remains were found nine years after her disappearance, leading to the arrest of two brothers.
