A US judge has sentenced the former top boss of Colombia drug cartel Los Rastrojos to only nine years in prison in spite of being responsible for dozens of killings, and cases of forced displacement, kidnapping and forced disappearance, reported newspaper El Tiempo.
Luis Carlos Serna and his brother Javier Antonio Serna, a.k.a. Comba, led the feared Los Rastrojos drug trafficking organization, the former enforcer army of the Norte del Valle drug cartel.
Both brothers surrendered to US authorities in 2012 after having evaded justice in Colombia for years after which their organization fractured.
Having only to respond to drug trafficking charges and because of a plea bargain with the prosecution, Serna got away with a sentence that would only be a fraction of his potential sentence in Colombia.
