138,000 acres of FARC territory expropriated in 2012

by Hannah Mead March 26, 2013

The prosecutor general’s office on Tuesday announced that more than 138,000 acres of land formerly belonging to Colombia’s largest left-wing rebel group was expropriated in 2012.

The deputy prosecutor general, Jorge Fernando Perdomo, said that the land was registered under the name of dead FARC front-man Dario Polania Ortegon and the names of his associates, and was valued at approximately $5.5 million. Fernando referred to Polania as “one of the greatest front-men in the history of the guerrillas.”

According to Fernando, the territory is located in the departments of Huila, Caqueta and Meta, and was often used as a camping ground for the FARC’s Eastern Bloc.

Meanwhile, since March 2012 the prosecutor general’s office has seized over $520 million worth of property and money formerly in the possession of narcotraffickers.
