Colombia’s Largest Drug Trafficking Group Calls for Negotiation with Government

Clan Del Golfo, one of the largest drug trafficking groups in Colombia, sent a letter to soon to be President Gustavo Petro showing their intention to negotiate with the government. Thirty smaller criminal groups also signed the letter. The drug traffickers are calling for a ceasefire on the condition that its members avoid prison. They acknowledge this is a "historic moment" as Colombia elects its first left wing President. The letter also calls for the end of extradition, something Petro himself is against.
