A Colombian police force colonel doubled the amount placed on his head by a wanted narco-paramilitary, in reward for information leading to the capture of the criminal.

Colonel Angelo Franco Sanabria of Colombia’s northern Cordoba department offered a reward of COP40 million (about $20,000) for Daniel Francisco Castaño Fuentes, alias “El Aguila,” after the paramilitary offered COP20 million for the policeman’s assassination.

Sanabria said that El Aguila, who escaped from custody in Cordoba’s capital city of Monteria on April 12, had offered the money to men from drug-trafficking neo-paramilitary group “Los Urabeños.”
