    business with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia
    (FARC), a Named Foreign Terrorist Organization.  Reports
    characterize Duque as the right-hand man of FARC spokesperson

    ¶22. (SBU) The Visas Viper Committee also discussed the status
    of the Colombian Supreme Court investigation into  Colombian
    Senators' and Representatives' alleged ties to AUC
    paramilitaries and others involved in the "parapolitics"
    scandal (reftel).  Specifically, the Committee reviewed the
    cases of Alvaro Araujo Noguera, Jorge de Jesus Castro
    Pacheco, Miguel Angel Duran Gelvis, Hernando Cesar de Jesus
    Molina Araujo, Ciro Ramirez Pinzon, and Oscar Leonidas
    Wilches Carreno.  The Committee determined that additional
    information is needed before submission to Visas Viper.
    Given that these individuals are currently under criminal
    investigation, however, the Consular Section, in concurrence
    with the Visas Viper Committee, is taking action to revoke
    the visas of those who hold them, as these individuals
    currently pose a flight risk.

    ¶23. (SBU) The Committee discussed the cases of six sitting
    mayors who have been called for questioning by a prosecutor
    with the National Anticorruption Unit.  The mayors are under
    investigation for alleged ties to the ACC (Casanare Peasant
    Self-Defense Group), having signed a document in which they
    agreed to channel part of their towns' budgets to
    paramilitary coffers.  Those implicated include: Raul Cabrera
    Barreto, Mayor of Villanueva; Aleyder Castaneda Avila, Mayor
    of Monterey; Mauricio Esteban Chaparro, Mayor of Sabanalarga;
    Jorge Eliecer Lopez Barreto, Mayor of Tauramena; Henry Montes
    Montes, Mayor of Mani; and Leonel Roberto Torres Arias, Mayor
    of Aguazul.  The subjects' ties to the AUC and the
    circumstances under which they signed the document remain
    unclear.  As such,the Committee determined that additional
    information is needed before submission to Visas Viper.  None
    of the mayors currently hold visas, and CLASS Lookouts have
    been added for each of them.
