An Argentine man is suspected of being the brains behind left wing guerrilla group FARC‘s alleged attempts to infiltrate student protests, according to Colombia’s police force.

Police say that 35 year old Argentine Facundo Molares, alias “Camilo” or “El Argentino,” arrived in Colombia in 2002 and has recently been working for FARC column “Teofilo.”

According to intelligence officials, Molares is one of the guerrillas responsible for reactivating the FARCs Clandestine Communist Party (PC3) and has been in charge of the ongoing infiltration of university student protests in Bogota, Cali, Medellin, Neiva, Bucaramanga, and Florencia.

According to the police, the Argentine guerrilla is also the suspected leader of ten people who were arrested Monday for alleged political and logistical support of the FARC, eight of whom were university students and professors.

Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos and the country’s intelligence agency DAS blame the FARC and ELN for inciting violence at student protests throughout the country since April and for wielding undue influence at Colombian universities.
