Mario Montoya and his family are barred from traveling to the U.S. , Secretary of State Antony Blinken says.

Montoya used to command the Colombian army and was one of the senior officers closest to then-president Alvaro Uribe .

In 2023 , a special court in Colombia indicted Montoya on charges of crimes against humanity over the death or disappearance of 130 civilians falsely reported as having died in clashes with guerrilla forces.
