Luis Carlos Restrepo Ramirez
(born 24 January 1954) is a Colombian psychiatrist and philosopher, who served as the 5th
High Commissioner for Peace of Colombia
from August 2002 to March 2009.
While in Office, he was in charge of the controversial demobilization and disarmament of 32,000 paramilitaries of the
United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia
and 13,000 guerrilla fighters.
[1]
For some time, the
Government of Colombia
considered him a
fugitive
,
[2]
[3]
[4]
after the
Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia
issued an international
arrest warrant
[2]
[4]
after Restrepo left the country on 8 January 2012 on a flight bound to the
United States
;
[2]
[3]
[4]
his current whereabouts remain unknown, but he is presumed to have obtained
political asylum
in Canada.

Restrepo, who was accused of faking the
demobilization
of a
FARC
military unit
in 2006,
[2]
[3]
[4]
is charged by the
Office of the Attorney General of Colombia
with
conspiracy to commit crime
;
embezzlement
; and arms
possession
,
trafficking
, and manufacturing.
[4]
Restrepo, who was one of the closest allies of the President
Alvaro Uribe Velez
,
[2]
[3]
[4]
has denied the allegations made against him, and accused the Administration of President
Juan Manuel Santos Calderon
of mounting a
political persecution
against him; in this he receives the backing and support of former President Uribe.
[2]
However, on September 23, 2013, Colombia's Prosecutor General dropped the arrest warrant against Restrepo.
[6]
From his exile, Restrepo has shown support for the current Peace talks of President
Juan Manuel Santos
with
FARC
rebels.
