President of Colombia Gustavo Petroinvited drug traffickers this Wednesday to suspend their extradition to USA and provide them with “legal benefits” in exchange for surrendering and giving up their activities.

“Drug traffickers who are negotiating with the Colombian state (…) are not being extradited,” the president said during a press conference with the Prime Minister of Spain. Peter Sanchez.

On the contrary, if they do not surrender, they will be sent to USAadded Petro, who took office on August 7 as the first left-wing president Colombia.

“Drug traffickers who do not negotiate with the state will be extradited; drug traffickers who negotiate with the state and commit repeated crimes will be extradited without any negotiations in USA”, he warned.

About the Gulf Clan

The President offered “legal benefits” Gulf clanpowerful armed wing of the drug trade, without specifying whether those concessions include alternative prison sentences such as those negotiated with the FARC guerrillas who signed the peace in 2016.

According to Petrotalk to Washington fulfill its obligation not to extradite criminals who are subject to the state.

The President is determined to end the last internal conflict on the continent by negotiating with the factions left up in arms after the 2016 peace deal with the guerrillas. FARCturned into a political party.

As part of his “full peace” policy, the President also denounced the “failure” of the fight against drugs and proposed a new approach aimed at curbing drug use in developed countries.

After four decades of prosecution for drug trafficking, Colombia remains the world’s largest producer of cocaine and USA its main market.

In addition to negotiating with drug traffickers, Petro is on track to resume peace talks with National Liberation Army (ELN), the last recognized partisan in Colombia.

During the press conference, Petro He claimed to have received “letters” from the del Golfo clan and other armed groups, “asking for peace” and “a different solution” to the conflict.

“As long as we have letters, we must undoubtedly move on to actions, these actions should already mean that if they want peace, then they will stop killing, stop conflicting with each other,” he stressed.

ELN, Gulf clan and dissent, which has been excluded from the peace pact, feeds on the proceeds of drug smuggling and illegal mining.
