Colombia Issues Warrants for Top FARC Dissident Leaders in Uribe Turbay Killing

The move shifts the case from gunmen to alleged planners by targeting the dissidents’ top tier.

Overview

  • Prosecutors issued seven arrest warrants naming Segunda Marquetalia commanders as the alleged masterminds of Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay’s assassination.
  • Police announced cash rewards that top 5,000 million pesos for Luciano Marín Arango, known as Iván Márquez, with lower amounts offered for other senior figures.
  • In court filings, investigators cited a convicted participant’s testimony, call records, and phone location data that place suspects in key meetings and planning roles.
  • The warrants list Kendry Téllez Álvarez, called Yako, as the central organizer of the plot, and they also include Jhon 40, Zarco Aldinever, Rusbel or Rumba, Enrique Marulanda, and Gonzalo.
  • One warrant names Zarco Aldinever despite past reports he was killed, and authorities say some leaders may be in Venezuela, a detail that could complicate arrests and test cross‑border cooperation.
