The Attorney General, Néstor Humberto Martínez Neira, stated that those entrepreneurs who cooperated with armed groups due to extortion will neither have to give an explanation to the transitional justice nor to the ordinary.
After the Attorney General made public the existence of information indicating that third parties were involved in the armed groups financing, he clarified that: “with respect to all concerns expressed by Colombian entrepreneurs, we must say with absolute clarity that those entrepreneurs who contributed in financing the armed conflict in Colombia, due to coercion or extortion, are not required to appear before any jurisdiction, neither the Special Jurisdiction for Peace expressly recognized in the Special Peace Agreement, nor the ordinary jurisdiction”.
