Colombia’s Prosecutor General announced on Sunday that it has ordered the arrest of a former governor over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity charges.

A statement released by the Prosecutor General’s Office ordered the arrest of Benito Osorio, the former governor of the northern state of Cordoba.

Osorio, also a former executive of the controversial ranchers federation Fedegan, has been accused of forcibly displacing hundreds of civilians in the region and illegally appropriating privately owned property. The former governor has also been accused of conspiracy and money laundering.

Displace, legalize, sell

According to the prosecution, Osorio used falsified land titles to acquire large tracts of land which eventually came under the Fedegan’s ownership.
His actions allegedly were carried out in collaboration the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), at the time the country’s most powerful paramilitary organization.
