(24,010 posts)...by the Italian police (as I said, connected to money-laundering for terrorist groups). But it's possible that the current brewing scandal is an outgrowth of the one in the 1980s. Also, I wanted to add, that, if I'm right that it's the Colombia 'mafia,' it might be AUC, the predecessor of the Black Eagles. AUC was officially designated a "terrorist organization" by the U.S. State Department. I don't think they've caught up with the Black Eagles yet, to officially call them what they are--and they may not, since the "Black Eagles" was/is a Bush Junta phenomenon and the Obama administration is into ignoring Bush Junta crimes. There was a phony demobilization of the AUC, but it was reborn as the Black Eagles during the Bush Junta. They, like the AUC, are closely tied to the U.S.-funded, U.S.-trained Colombian military, and to major drug trafficking.
