Don Mario leaves 2000 crimes unresolved in Colombia to face US drug charges
written by Adriaan Alsema December 18, 2017
The founder of Colombia’s largest illegal armed group, the AGC, told national radio that President Juan Manuel Santos extradited him to protect the interests of “dark forces” in politics.
Santos signed off on the extradition of Daniel Rendon, a.k.a. “Don Mario,” last week citing claims the war lord continued leading the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces (AGC) from prison where he has been since 2009.
. . .
Rendon is serving 20 years for homicide, forced disappearance, torture, kidnapping, drug trafficking and forced displacement.
. . .
According to “Don Mario,” former president Alvaro Uribe and his brothers formed a clan exactly like the Rendon and Castaño brothers. (Image credit: Twitter)
