this conflicts with earlier statements by former captive Perez that only 50-100 of the estimated 700 are still alive to this day.

what the shell is the Swiss emissary doing sending $500,000 USD to the FARC?

trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine...

I don't think he sent it to them, but took it for them to CR.

I don't know, but like a colombian government source said a couple of days ago about this swiss dude and his french counterpart who was also outed offering help to the FARC in Reyes' emails, the source said that they are curtailing these guy because they are not intermidiaries with the FARC, but rather advisers to it.
