Colombian authorities on Tuesday arrested the brother of a notorious paramilitary leader serving lengthy jail sentence in the United States, making this the third arrest of a family member in the last year.
Fernando Cesar Mancuso, alias “Bird,” is the third close relative of ex-paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso to be captured by the authorities during the year. Gomez was arrested at his home north of Cordoba on Tuesday.
Gomez was arrested for the crime of conspiracy to commit murder connected to the death of union leader Oscar Dario Soto in 2001.
He was arrested along with four lawyers who have all been linked to more than 18 murders including that of Soto and are linked to the Cordoba block AUC paramilitary group.
