Colombia JEP accuses ex-Ecopetrol security chief of paramilitary ties in Magdalena Medio

Colombia's transitional justice system (JEP) formally accused a former Ecopetrol security chief of links to paramilitaries operating in Magdalena Medio, and summoned nine ex-military and two ex-police officers to acknowledge responsibility. This marks a judicial escalation in accountability for state-corporate complicity in paramilitary violence, potentially implicating a state oil company. The extent of corporate liability and the officers' responses remain uncertain.
