Colombia's Inspector General is investigating the head of the University of Santander (UIS) for colluding with the paramilitary group the Aguilas Negras.

Rector Jaime Alberto Camacho Pico allegedly provided information on students and teachers to a man who identified himself as a member of the Aguilas Negras, information that was used to create a target list dubbed "plan gun", local media reports.

The Aguilas Negras are a right-wing paramilitary group that emerged during Colombia's demobilization process, with operations across the country.
