Missing army colonel planned FARC member assassination and threatened to kill neighbors: report
by Adriaan Alsema October 29, 2019
The lieutenant colonel ordering the assassination of a FARC member in northern Colombia in April planned the murder weeks in advance, according to leaked prosecution documents.
Weekly Semana reported over the weekend that it had obtained the evidence that indicates that Lieutenant Colonel Jorge Armando Perez ordered and planned the assassination with his unit weeks in advance.
According to the weekly, the prosecution has all the evidence to take Perez to court, but is impeded to do so because Perez is trying to have his case transferred to Colombia’s notoriously ineffective military justice system.
Meanwhile, President Ivan Duque is defending his defense minister who is currently facing his second motion of no confidence in four months.
