Before the Federal Court of Washington, the extradited paramilitary chief Salvatore Mancuso, has come revealing how the drug trafficking whitens his illicit capitals across the sale of hundreds of golden ounces that happen for the Bank of the Republic without raising suspicion.
As told in several hearings - that they began in January, 2009 - the metal it is bought in Panama and a group of washers of the mafia deposits it to Colombia to melt it and to deliver it - dosed - to a mayors' army.
