Prosecutor General Luz Adriana Camargo vowed to try hundreds of businesses that financed the creation and human rights violations of paramilitary groups during Colombia’s armed conflict.

Camargo made the promise at a conference on transitional justice in which she vowed that her office will pay “the debts of this model of justice and peace to society.”

The main priority, said the chief prosecutor, was the effective prosecution of “the most economically powerful third-party financiers” that have been mentioned by demobilized former members of the now-defunct paramilitary organization AUC in the past two decades.

Camargo also announced increased efforts to confiscate assets of those who profiteered from the war and vowed success in “the finding and identification of victims of forced disappearance.”
