Un Graduado en el SOA es citado en Parapolitica Scandal PDF Imprimir E-Mail

El gobierno del presidente Colombiano Alvaro Uribe, continua plagado por el escandalo “Parapolitica”, en el que 60 miembros del Congreso  han sido relacionados con las Fuerzas Unidas de Autodefensa de Colombia (en adelante AUC), un grupo paramilitar de derechas ahora desmovilizado. La mayoria de estos politicos estan en la coalición gobernante de Uribe y algunos son de la familia “ampliada” del presidente. El 12 de Agosto de 2008,  Luis Adrian Palacio (“Diomedes”), un antiguo paramilitar, en SOA graduate and instructor: Gen. Mario Montoya Uribedeclaraciones ante el Fiscal General, relacionó al General Mario Montoya, Jefe del ejercito Colombiano y graduado y antiguo instructor de la Escuela de las Americas, con el AUC. Diomedes declaró que en Abril de 2002, Montoya, que para entonces mandaba la Cuarta Brigada del Ejercito, llevo personalmente un “regalo” de seis rifles AK-47 y un rifle M-16 al Bloque Mineros del AUC. Montoya niega esta acusación.

Un acuerdo entre Uribe y el presidente George Bush de USA ha contribuido a difuminar este escandalo. Algunos jefes paramilitares estan siendo extraditados a los USA para responder de cargos por trafico de drogas, pero muchos analistas creen que esto impedirá a los investigadores colombianos conseguir buena información sobre las relaciones entre los paramilitares y los politicos.

El antiguo lider de las unidades paramilitares Bloques Calima y Bananero, Ever Veloza (“H.H.”), ha empezado a hablar de estos lazos y el Senador Gustavo Pedro ( que está amenazado por la investigación del escandalo Farcpolitico) está presionando a Uribe para que detenga la extradición de Veloza hasta que este haya contado su historia. El SOA Watch junto a otras 25 organizaciones internacionales, denunció estas extradiciones como una treta de los gobiernos USA y Colombiano para denegar justicia a las victimas de crímenes en Colombia.
