Jorge 40 arrives in Colombia deported from the United States – Crimes – Justice

The bloody former commander of the Northern Bloc of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (Auc) Rodrigo Tovar Pupo, alias Jorge 40, will return to Colombian territory this Monday after spending 12 years in the United States, where he served a sentence for drug trafficking.

According to sources from Migration and Police, around noon, ‘Jorge 40’ would be landing, deported from the United States. The former paramilitary still has pending accounts with the Colombian justice system, with at least 35 arrest warrants, 38 security measures and 1,450 judicial processes.

‘Jorge 40’ was one of the ex-comandantes ‘para’ expelled from the Justice and Peace process, so, unlike Salvatore Mancuso, he does not have judicial benefits and faces ordinary penalties for the crimes committed by him and the men under his command, including massacres, disappearances, torture and rape.

Although ‘Jorge 40’ has sought to be accepted by the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), that justice has closed all the doors until now because it considers that the paramilitaries are not within its competence.
