NewzThe Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) has overturned a 12-year prison sentence against Javier de Jesús Cadavid Palacio, a merchant from Antioquia. The tribunal’s Review Section determined that the 2009 conviction for extortion and illicit enrichment was based on a wrongful identification of the merchant as a collaborator with the FARC guerrilla group.
Following the review, the JEP officially absolved Cadavid Palacio of the charges. The ruling acknowledges that the individual had been unjustly deprived of liberty due to the mistaken association with the armed group.
