Fury and confusion over DEA plot that all but sunk Colombia's peace process


by Adriaan Alsema November 11, 2020

A DEA plot that all but destroyed Colombia’s peace process is causing fury and confusion in the South American country.

The publication of evidence that the US counternarcotics agency was trying to frame the former political leaders of demobilized FARC guerrillas “Ivan Marquez” and “Jesus Santrich” caused chaos in Bogota.

. .

Washington DC and the US Embassy went mute after claiming that Santrich was conspiring to traffic cocaine to the US for more than a year contrary to evidence.

While the evidence revealed by El Espectador confirmed indications the DEA and the prosecution were trying to frame the FARC’s purported leaders in the Senate and House of Representative, many questions remain.
