The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a public appeal for information regarding Victor Julian Duque, a 41-year-old Colombian national currently at large. Duque, also known by the alias Victor Julian Duque Tobon, is wanted on federal charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for any information that leads to his location and subsequent arrest. According to federal investigators, Duque is alleged to have played a significant role in a money laundering operation involving proceeds from drug trafficking within the United States. Authorities state that the illicit funds were funneled through fictitious businesses to conceal their origins before being transferred to Colombia. A federal arrest warrant for Duque was originally issued on October 22, 2025, by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. While the warrant was issued in Florida, investigators have identified strong ties between the suspect and San Antonio, Texas, as well as Pereira, Colombia. The specific nature of his connections to Texas has not been fully disclosed, but the FBI is actively searching for him in relation to these ties. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI, with coordination from local authorities in Bexar County. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or information regarding Duque's whereabouts. Individuals with knowledge of his location are asked to contact their local FBI office immediately. Alternatively, tips can be submitted online through the FBI's designated portal. This case highlights ongoing efforts to dismantle international drug trafficking networks and prevent the laundering of criminal proceeds through the U.S. financial system. The FBI emphasizes that any information, no matter how small, could be crucial in bringing Duque to justice. The agency continues to encourage community cooperation in identifying and locating wanted fugitives to ensure public safety and uphold federal law.
