Former AUC chief vows to cooperate with Colombias war crimes system
written by Adriaan Alsema November 3, 2017
The former leader of Colombia’s state-loyal paramilitary groups said Thursday he will take part in his country’s transitional justice system, increasing pressure on Congress.
Former AUC chief Salvatore Mancuso is currently in prison in the United States on drug trafficking charges and convicted of more than 500 crimes in Colombia that left more than 5,000 victims.
While testifying against jailed Senator Martin Emilio Morales (U Party), Mancuso said he would also cooperate with the transitional justice system that is part of a peace process with the FARC, the AUC’s demobilized arch enemy.
Macuso’s now-defunct organization was formed in 1997 to unite multiple regional anti-guerrilla groups and soon became one of the primary victimizers in Colombia’s armed conflict.
