US arrests fugitive former Colombia intelligence executive convicted for political killing
by Adriaan Alsema October 12, 2018
US migration agency ICE said Thursday it has arrested a former executive of Colombia’s now-defunct intelligence agency DAS for the 2004 assassination of a sociologist.
The former deputy director of the DAS’ office in Santa Marta, Javier Alfredo Valle, was sentenced to 40 years in 2017 for the murder of sociologist Alfredo Correa and his bodyguard by members of paramilitary group AUC.
The DAS’ former executive director Jorge Noguera, who was personally appointed by former President Alvaro Uribe in 2002, was sentenced to 25 years for his involvement in the assassination in 2011.
According to ICE, Valle was arrested in New York City after investigators found he had illegally obtained a visa in an apparent attempt to evade imprisonment.
