Colombia suspends extradition of rebel leader wanted in the US for drug trafficking
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian President Gustavo Petro has suspended a rebel leader's extradition to the United States, arguing that his presence in Colombia is needed to advance peace talks that seek to disarm hundreds of fighters in a region bordering Venezuela. Willington Henao Gutiérrez, known as 'Mocho Olmedo' is one of the leaders of the 33rd front of FARC EMC, a rebel group with around 400 fighters that operates in the northeastern Catatumbo region. He is wanted in the U.S. for drug trafficking and money laundering and his extradition was approved by Colombia's Supreme Court in May. But in a resolution published on June 26, and revealed by Colombian media on Tuesday, Petro ordered the suspension of Henao's extradition, mandating him to provide 'verifiable contributions and concrete results' to peace talks between the 33rd front and the Colombian government. The resolution says that if Henao fails to contribute to talks, he will be handed over to U.S. authorities. Henao, in Colombian government custody since February, is the second rebel leader to have his extradition suspended by Petro this year. In May, the government delayed the extradition of Gabriel Yepes Mejía, a commander of the Comuneros del Sur rebel group also facing drug trafficking charges. In June, Colombia's newly appointed justice minister, Eduardo Montealegre, told Colombian newspaper El Tiempo that the Petro administration would suspend the extradition of rebel leaders who agree to participate in peace talks — even if that strains relations with the United States. Henao was indicted by a Florida court in 2023 on drug trafficking and money laundering charges, with prosecutors alleging he conspired to ship 115 kilos (253 pounds) of cocaine to the U.S. The Petro administration and the U.S. government have often clashed over drug policy, with U.S. officials urging Colombia to do more to reduce coca crops and warning that future cooperation on security depends on concrete results in the fight against drug trafficking. Colombia's first leftist government has staged peace talks with numerous rebel groups and drug gangs in an effort to improve security in rural areas, where groups like the FARC-EMC have filled the void left by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the guerrilla group that made peace with the government in 2016. But the talks have yielded few results so far, with human rights groups saying that extortion, forced displacement and the recruitment of children are on the rise. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

Husband Charged in Woman's Disappearance During Spain Vacation Found Dead in Prison: 'Cruel Final Insult'
The husband of Ana Knezevich Henao, a Florida woman who vanished during a bitter divorce, was found dead in prison where he was awaiting a murder trial in connection with her disappearance. David Knezevich, 37, was found unresponsive at the Federal Detention Center (FDC) Miami on Monday, April 28, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. Knezevich reportedly died by suicide, his attorney confirmed to the Miami Herald and NBC Miami, but she did not respond to PEOPLE's requests for confirmation. Knezevich was at FDC on charges of foreign domestic violence resulting in death and foreign murder of a United States national following the February 2024 disappearance of Henao while the two were locked in a bitter divorce, PEOPLE previously reported, citing authorities and Henao's family members' account. Henao was in Spain at the time, where she hoped to start a non-profit for women who had been abused, her friend previously told PEOPLE. She has never been found. Related: Inside the Case of Ana Knezevich Henao, Who Wanted to Start Non-Profit for Abuse Victims and Then Vanished in Spain Knezevich was arrested in May 2024 and had been at the FDC since May 6 of that year, per FDC officials. On Monday morning, after Knezevich was found, responding prison employees provided 'life-saving' measures as they awaited emergency personnel at the scene, per the statement. Emergency Service officials declared him dead at the scene. His defense team said they were 'devastated to learn of this news.' 'We sincerely hope that an appropriate and prompt investigation will be conducted,' they told PEOPLE in an email statement. The BOP, citing department policies, redirected PEOPLE to the Medical Examiner's Office, which did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for further Husband of Fla. Woman Who Went Missing in Spain Arrested 3 Months After Her Disappearance Henao's family expressed mixed emotions about Knezevich's death. "The suicide of Ana's murderer closes a painful chapter in our lives, previously filled with the dread that he might not face justice. Now, we may never know where he put Ana's body," they said in a statement through their attorney Adam Ingber. "It is a cruel final insult that we may never recover Ana's remains or know the full extent of the betrayal she suffered," they said, adding they "remain committed to seeking the truth and justice" and "to preserving Ana's memory while honoring her life with dignity, strength, and love.' "While his death spares this family from the agony of a trial," Ingber said in the statement, "it also leaves many questions unanswered, which we continue to pursue."

Wanted Columbian man arrested in State College on rape charges
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of a Columbian citizen wanted by Panama law enforcement. Julio Cesar Henao-Cordoba, 38, was arrested on charges of aggravated rape of a child outside his residence in State College March 14. Authorities in Panama issued an arrest warrant for Henao for aggravated rape of a minor Sept. 2, 2020. In 2022, Henao was arrested in Texas for entering the United States without admission or parole by an immigration official. He was then transferred to ICE, enrolled in the alternatives to detention program and paroled into the U.S. Later that same year, Henao reported to ICE in York and received a notice to appear sharing inadmissibility and terminated him from alternatives to detention due to his residence falling outside of the range of the program. ICE detained Henao at the Clinton County Correctional Facility in McElhattan following his arrest. Members of the public with information can report crimes or suspicious activity by dialing the ICE Tip Line at 866-347-2423. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
