'Don Berna' ends cooperation with Colombia justice

'Don Berna' ends cooperation with Colombia justice
Tuesday, 26 October 2010 10:53 Manuela Kuehr

Extradited paramilitary warlord Diego Fernando Murillo, alias "Don Berna," on Tuesday refused to continue his cooperation with the Colombian government under the Justice and Peace law.

According to newspaper El Espectador the former paramilitary claims that he and his family are not receiving the security and benefits guaranteed by the Justice and Peace law.

The Justice and Peace law offers reduced sentences to paramilitaries in exchange for testimony about their crimes.

"Don Berno" said that his rights have been violated and so he will not continue to cooperate with the government.
