The Ecuadorian Government announced yesterday the arrest of the Colombian Jorge Domingues known as Palustre, one of the heads of the extreme right band  linked to the drug trade known as “Los Rastrojos”  that was strengthened  after the disarmament and demobilization of the United self-defense forces of Colombia (AUC), the main paramilitary group of extreme right of that country.
