Son of suspect of one of Colombia’s most traumatic political murders assassinated
written by Stephen Gill July 19, 2016
Armed men killed the son of the former director of Colombia’s now-defunct intelligence agency who is under investigation for the murder of 1989 presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan.
Miguel Segundo Maza was found dead in a cellar in Manague in the province of Bolivar with early reports suggesting that he was shot several times by assailants on a motorcycle.
Maza is the son of retired General Miguel Maza, former director of the controversial DAS intelligence agency that was abolished amid a series of scandals a few years ago.
While initial reports have not confirmed a clear motive, the deceased was a prominent figure in legal circles relating to organized crime. His father continues to be investigated for complicity in the murder of Galan that was ordered by slain drug lord Pablo Escobar 27 years ago.
