Colombia Arrests Governor: Corruption, Terrorism [communist] support charges
According to the prosecution, Arauca Governor Jose Facundo Castillo (Radical Change) and his predecessor Ricardo Alvarado (U Party) allegedly financed guerrilla group ELN.
In a press release, the prosecution said that Castillo and Alvarado allegedly granted contracts to an ELN member in return for protection and electoral support.
The contracts with Colombia’s last-standing guerrilla group weren’t isolated cases, but allowed the guerrillas’ control over the regional government for more than a decade.
Castillo was one of 10 governors who were accused of embezzling emergency funds meant to combat the Covid-19 pandemic last year.

The ELN advocate a composite communist ideology of Marxism-Leninism and liberation theology.
