Investigators found that Motta Díaz possessed the owner's ID card, property deeds, and fingerprints printed in silicone to facilitate the fraud. [^2]

The suspect was caught in the Notaría 2 of Dosquebradas while trying to sell a plot of land for 400 million pesos, although the fake contract listed the value as 95 million pesos. [^3]

During the arrest, authorities found that Motta Díaz used a modified ID card with the victim's photo and silicone fingerprints adhered to her own fingers to bypass the notary office's biometric controls. [^4]
