A senior paramilitary leader and one of Colombia’s most notorious drug traffickers was sentenced today to serve 190 months in prison for leading an international drug trafficking conspiracy that imported into the United States ton-quantities of cocaine. Through his leadership position in the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, or AUC, in Spanish), Salvatore Mancuso-Gomez directed the manufacture and shipment of over 100,000 kilograms of cocaine [about 220,000 pounds or 110 tons or almost 100 million grams] into the United States and elsewhere.
In addition to enriching himself, Mancuso-Gomez and the AUC used this drug money to raise and arm a paramilitary force of more than 30,000 fighters and cement his control over regions of Colombia. This case is yet another example of our continued commitment to collaborating with our international partners to prosecute criminals and warlords who traffic in illegal narcotics, violence and intimidation.
The case was investigated by the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Bogotá and Cartagena, Colombia, Country Offices, and the DEA Special Operations Division.
