COAlexander Díaz Mendoza, known by his alias 'Calarcá', has been formally charged with ten crimes by Colombian authorities after being declared a fugitive. These charges include forced disappearance, aggravated homicide of protected individuals, trafficking, conspiracy to commit crimes, recruitment of minors, illegal possession of weapons, and forced displacement of families in the Meta region. The charges span from 2022 to 2026 and involve several high-profile incidents such as the Miravalle massacre in January 2025, where 20 people were killed during clashes between Calarcá’s faction and the State Major Central (EMC) led by 'Iván Mordisco,' and another incident in January 2026 where approximately 25 people died in fighting between factions of Mordisco and Calarcá. According to the Attorney General's Office, evidence was obtained from seized devices and investigations confirming serious actions linked to Calarcá. This information prompted the attorney general to request the reinstatement of his arrest warrant and to ask President Petro to remove him from peace talks with the government.
