US sanctions European funders of FARC militants

The US Treasury said it would place financial sanctions on four Colombians accused of laundering money for the FARC militants in Colombia through an outfit in Switzerland.

Four individuals were sanctioned for serving as a front for FARC militants by running a store that specialised in rare Latin delicacies, reports Associated Press.

One of the individuals is believed to be the FARC militant’s chief representative to France, Italy and Switzerland.
