    Country Advice Colombia Colombia – COL39989 – Los Rastrojos – Extortion – Political Agenda – Police Corruption 13 March 2012 1. What is the status of Los Rastrojos – currently active, size, areas of activity (i.e. is its activity confined to particular regions of Colombia)? Los Rastrojos (or „The Stubble‟ in English) is active in Colombia and remains heavily involved in drug trafficking. Since its inception in 2002, the size and reach of the Los Rastrojos has rapidly increased and it is now one of the most powerful drug trafficking organisations in Colombia.1 A 2012 report published by the Brookings Institution2 states that Los Rastrojos is „by far the largest [drug] cartel in Colombia today‟.3 Similarly, in June 2011 Just the Facts4 noted that Los Rastrojos is „likely the most powerful “new” paramilitary group‟ in Colombia.5 In October 2011, Rodney Benson6 of the US Drug Enforcement Agency stated that Los Rastrojos – along with several other criminal organisations – continues to control key coca cultivation and transit areas throughout Colombia and receives a large proportion of its operational funding from drug trafficking.7 In several regions of Colombia, Los Rastrojos has developed alliances with other drug trafficking organisations including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National Liberation Army (ELN) (both of which are leftist groups) and the notorious drug trafficker, Daniel „El Loco‟ Barrera Barrera.8 1 Insight (undated) 2011, Rastrojos, 25 February http://insightcrime.org/criminal-groups/colombia/rastrojos/item/63- rastrojos-profile - Accessed 7 March 2012 2 The Brookings Institution is a not-for-profit public policy think tank organisation based in Washington DC, America.
