Colombia proposes 30-50% sentence cuts for criminals surrendering goods, weapons, corruption links

The Colombian executive has unveiled a proposal offering sentence reductions of 30-50% to illegal armed actors and terrorists who deliver goods, weapons, and information on corruption and political ties, explicitly ruling out political negotiations. This marks a shift toward incentivized surrender and intelligence gathering rather than peace talks, though details on implementation and scope remain unclear. The initiative could reshape counterinsurgency and anti-corruption efforts in Colombia.
