Extradited paramilitary leader Ramiro "Cucoy Vanoy" Murillo is charged by Colombian prosecutors with 192 separate criminal acts, including torture and murder, Spanish news agency reported EFE Thursday.

The eight-day-long hearing ended with the court's decision to accuse Vanoy of "192 acts of homicide, forced disappearances, torture, forced displacement, kidnapping, theft and conspiracy, among others."

Within these acts are "231 cases of homicide and the forced disappearance of public servants, labor leaders and members of the Patriotic Union," according to a statement from the prosecution.

The Patriotic Union was the political arm of the FARC, created in 1985 during a failed cease-fire with the government at the time. The formation of the political party exposed the FARC's leaders, members and supporters to a campaign of extermination that killed more than 4,000 people, including presidential candidates, at the hands of paramilitaries and state agents.

This clown has been extradited to the U.S., on a drug trafficking charge, where he is safely out of reach from prosecution for his massacres, tortures, etc., a typical action taken which whisks these monstruos off to the U.S., where they never are required to face trials for mass murders, or see the faces of the loved ones of their victims
