More from the article:

La FM director journalist Luis Carlos Velez subsequently reported that locals blamed native Colombians for breaking into their housing complex and vandalized vehicles.

The false claims were repeated by RCN Television, a sister company of LA FM that is also owned by controversial business mogul Carlos Ardila Lulle, who illegally occupies land from the indigenous.

The same false claims were repeated on Caracol Television, which went as far negating that the indigenous were Colombian citizens.

The extensive media coverage based on the alleged criminal conspiracy between the Cali extremists and the local police department provided the pretext for President Ivan Duque to order a brutal terrorism campaign.

. . .

This terrorism campaign was promoted by a local death squad, “the Anti-Communist Brigade,” which said on Twitter it would take part in the terror campaign and previously claimed to be working with the Cali Police Department .




I don't think Carlos Ardila Lulle looks corrupt, at all, nor evil!

Carlos Ardila Lülle is the billionaire founder and head of the Organización Ardila Lülle, a major Colombian conglomerate which controls companies such as RCN TV, the Postobon soft drink, and the Atlético Nacional football team. As of 2014, Forbes ranks him as the fourth-richest Colombian, with a personal wealth of $2.4 billion.

Forbes:

  • Carlos Ardila Lülle built a fortune selling soda and got even richer by investing in bottling companies, radio and TV stations, and sugar refineries.
  • He started his career working for his father-in-law's soda company, where he created an apple-flavored drink that quickly became a top seller.
  • In 1973 he bought his first radio station and built Radio Canal Nacional by acquiring smaller stations.
  • When the Colombian government privatized television in 1998, he started RCN TV, now worth significantly more than his radio properties.
  • In 2012 he partnered with Rupert Murdoch to create MundoFox, a Spanish-language channel targeted at U.S. Hispanics; it shut down in 2016.

    Ardila Lülle had a brief stint in politics between 1970 and 1974 as a state senator from the Colombian Conservative Party.
