Investigation into reward payments for ‘FARC’ murders

by Tom Heyden May 19, 2011


colombia news - cash

Colombia’s comptroller general has opened investigations into the alleged payment of rewards for the killing of three FARC guerrillas in 2005, 2007 and 2009, El Espectador reported Thursday.

The comptroller has apparently detected a deficit worth around $77,000 (COP140 million), which has been linked to the payment of rewards for the deaths of two alleged members of the guerrilla group.

The investigation was originally premised on several media allegations that reported the reward payments in return for the deaths of three FARC members, who were apparently still alive after the deed, according to some sources.

Reward payments were eventually made upon the discovery of two of the supposed FARC members who died in combat, even though their identity was never established, suggesting more unravelling of the “false positive” scandal.
