Jaime Blanco Maya’s lawyer submitted a letter requesting the magistrate of that special justice, Mauricio García Cadena, arguing that his client gave part of his truth about the alleged financing of the multinational to paramilitaries in Cesar in the nineties.
This is how Blanco’s lawyer, Camilo Bocanegra, in a few words, argued that the former Drummond contractor was providing information on what he knows about this momentous case at the JEP and that he is just taking his first steps in this jurisdiction.

The foregoing occurs after learning that at the end of December 2020, the Prosecutor’s Office called two heads of the multinational Drummond to trial to answer for the alleged financing of paramilitary groups during the decade of the nineties, where one of the key witnesses against him he requested conditional release before the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP).
This is Jaime Blanco Maya, a former contractor for the Drummond company who was sentenced to 37 years in prison for conspiring to commit a crime with paramilitary groups and the 2001 killings of two trade unionists, Valmore Locarno and Víctor Orcasita, who worked for the multinational Drummond (USA) in Cesar.
It should be remembered that Blanco on November 26, 2019 was accepted by the JEP, after presenting a plan of “Truth, reparation and guarantees”, where he noted:
“It will clarify the relationship (of financing) between the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (Auc) and the Drummond between 1993 and 2002 in which it played an intermediary role (…) and how the union groups were victimized”.
Jaime Blanco Maya is currently in prison for the murder, in March 2001, of Víctor Orcasita and Valmore Locarno, president and vice-president, respectively, of the National Union of Petrochemical, Agro-fuel and Energy Mining Workers (Sintramienergética).
