The Colombian National Human Rights Unit ordered the incarceration of a former governor of Sucre Department Monday.
Miguel Angel Nule Amin was last month caught trying to flee to the United States and is currently under hospital detention in the Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena.
Amin is being investigated for masterminding the October 2000 slaughter of Macayepo, in which paramilitaries killed 12 people and displaced approximately 200 families in the villages of El Floral, Verrugitas and La Cañada del Lemon, in the northern department of Carmen de Bolivar.
Nule Amin is also the father of Miguel and Manuel Nule, who are currently serving prison sentences for embezzlement and construction fraud in Bogota.
