Bogotá. La policía de Colombia aseguró este martes que es muy probable que el Paisa, uno de los máximos jefes de los rebeldes de las FARC que se rearmaron tras firmar la paz en 2016, haya muerto en un enfrentamiento en el lado venezolano de la frontera.

“Hasta el momento hay un muy, muy, muy alto porcentaje de que está muerto”, dijo el general Jorge Vargas, comandante de la institución, en una declaración a los medios. Según el oficial, apenas comenzó a circular la información sobre la caída del Paisa, supuestamente en una emboscada el domingo, la policía activó sus fuentes de información.
