In the absence of confirmation by the Colombian authorities, a new version is known regarding the possible whereregardings of alias “Ivan Marquez”, leader of the dissidence of the Second Marquetalia of the Farc. The man would be seriously injured in a hospital in the capital of Venezuela.
“Márquez would be seriously injured and would have been rushed from the place where they made the attack to Caracas, aboard a helicopter”, was the version that Venezuelan sources gave to the magazine Semana.
While Colombian intelligence tries to verify the real whereregardings of the ringleader – who until the signing of the Peace Agreement served as the FARC’s chief negotiator – the versions regarding his outcome, following the attack, begin to contradict each other.
“The information we have is that in a presumed confrontation of the different factions of the FARC dissidents (his death) might have happened. We know that he was in Venezuela, we know that over the last few months he was looking to leave Venezuela,” Defense Minister Diego Molano said this Saturday.
of the attack he suffered Luciano Marin Arango, his first name, is known to have occurred 8 days ago in Venezuelan territory. President Iván Duque himself said that he had information indicating that the dissident had died in the middle of an attack by an armed group that has not yet been identified.
Until now, the Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro It does not confirm nor does it deny the version that Iván Márquez is hospitalized in one of its care centers.
On the Colombian-Venezuelan border, the dispute over illegal income extends between the FARC dissidents, the ELN’s Eastern War Front and the criminal group El tren de Aragua, of Venezuelan origin.
