Colombia's police suspends paramilitary cooperation with Truth Commission

Hearings suspended after security forces' tied to drug trafficking
by Adriaan Alsema February 18, 2022

Colombia’s police suspended the cooperation of former paramilitary commander “Otoniel” with the commission that is investigating the armed conflict.

Police intelligence unit DIJIN ended a visit of the Truth Commission to the former commander of paramilitary group AGC on Thursday.

The police ended the hearings after W Radio reported that Otoniel had begun revealing ties between the “world’s most wanted drug trafficker” and Colombia’s security forces.

The police obstructed the Truth Commission’s investigations by recording the hearings that are supposed to be confidential, according to W Radio.
