The problem is the repeated execution of the subquery in the SELECT
list; that's taking over 683 of the 686 seconds:

The current formulation of the query guarantees that you can't do better
than a nestloop join with "sub" on the inside, and that nestloop isn't
even indexed.  See if you can convert it to a regular join instead of a
sub-select (probably with GROUP BY instead of DISTINCT).

Also, those LIKE conditions are just horrid: slow *and* unreadable.
Consider redesigning your data representation.  Perhaps converting
info_responsible to an int array would be reasonable.
