A top advisor of Colombia’s former President Alvaro Uribe is presumed to be hiding in the United States.

According to Caracol Radio, Luis Carlos Restrepo left Colombia in January of this year and has officially not been seen or heard from since. Reports say he has not left the United States since his arrival.

Restrepo left Colombia just days before he was to be questioned by the anti-corruption unit of the district attorney’s office. He is being investigated for his role in the false demobilization of the non-existent FARC front ‘Gaicica Gaitana’ during his time as high commissioner for peace under Uribe.

The ‘Cacica Gaitana’ Front gained fame in 2011 when it became clear that the front was mainly composed of homeless people who had no previous links to the FARC, but were paid to act like guerillas in order to inflate demobilization statistics. Critics accused the government of doing so for propaganda purposes.
