A former paramilitary chief accused of 3,000 crimes was Tuesday returned to his native Colombia to face justice after being deported from the United States, where he had been incarcerated on drug charges.

Hebert Veloza, 50, alias "HH," touched down in Bogota after being loaded on a plane in Alexandria, in the US state of Virginia, Colombia's migration service said in a statement.

He faces charges in his homeland of murder, forced recruitment of minors and criminal association.

He had been in prison in the United States since 2009 for drug trafficking, after Colombia allowed his extradition.
