In Colombia, the former head of the secret police has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for collaborating with right-wing militias and helping plan the murder of a leading human rights worker. Jorge Noguera headed the Department of Administrative Security under former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe. He’s faced accusations of supplying paramilitaries with a hit list of several names, most of whom were later killed. Noguera resigned in 2005 amidst allegations of militia ties, but Uribe later named him to a diplomatic position and kept maintaining his innocence. Noguera was found to have helped coordinate the killing of Alfredo Correa de Andreis, a well-known sociologist who had investigated Colombian paramilitaries.
