General Marcos Evangelista Pinto, the alleged war criminal who sued victims for 'tarnishing his good

General Marcos Evangelista Pinto sued victims for tarnishing his reputation after letting his own men rot in prison for executions carried out under his watch.
Pinto is the commander of the 2nd Brigade of Colombia’s Army, despite claims he is complicit in the execution of 45 civilians who were later presented as guerrillas killed in combat and evidence he misused military resources.
Pinto also promised to use army resources to help a convicted colonel while he was on trial for executing 47 civilians as part of the so-called “false positives scandal.”
The general is close to former National Army commander Mario Montoya, who is not just accused of involvement in the execution of 2,429 civilians, but ties to Medellin drug lord “Don Berna,” among other things.
