4 arrested over FARC arms dealing

Colombian authorities have arrested four people accused of being part of an organization which sells Chinese-made arms to the FARC, reports W Radio.

The Colombian judicial police (DIJIN) say that the four were dealing arms from Peruvian territory to the FARC’s 48th Front.

DIJIN Director Carlos Ramiro Bravo Mena said that the two men and two women were accused of trading guns made in China for cocaine with the guerrilla group’s southern command.

Police seized 1,300 Chinese-made guns from the camp of “Mono Jojo,” who was killed by Colombian forces in September.
