4 November 2026: charges regarding abuse and executions of recruited minors

Formally charged

In a Case 07 decision, the JEP named Floresmiro Burbano among nine former leaders potentially responsible for patterns of ill-treatment, torture and executions of recruited children. The judges are assessing regional commanders’ actions, omissions and tolerance, rather than automatically assigning them every subordinate’s act. The individual may accept or contest the charges before judgment.

State of the evidence
The JEP names the individual among nine, and La Silla Vacía reports on the decision.
Legal status — source text
Specific charges concerning mistreatment and executions of recruited children; no final conviction found.
Attribution
Alleged leadership responsibility or omission in abuses committed against recruited minors.

4 November 2026: separate reproductive violence charges involving recruited girls

Formally charged

A second Case 07 decision named Floresmiro Burbano among five former leaders linked to a pattern of reproductive violence against recruited girls. The investigation documents forced contraception, forced abortions and other coercive practices within the organisation; it does not mean this leader personally carried out every act. This is a separate charge from the mistreatment decision.

State of the evidence
The official statement expressly lists five individuals and independent reporting corroborates the types of alleged abuses.
Legal status — source text
Separate reproductive violence charges; transitional proceedings remain open and no final judgment was found.
Attribution
Alleged role in establishing or tolerating reproductive coercion within the units under command.

Formally charged

The JEP named Floresmiro Burbano among twenty-seven former Southern and Eastern Bloc members charged in Case 10. The investigation covers killings, attacks, displacement, disappearances and abuses against civilians, but individual responsibility must be distinguished from the groups’ combined record.

State of the evidence
The 4 August JEP release names the individual and explains their former position.
Legal status — source text
Case 10 charges; the JEP reports an acknowledgement of responsibility, but no final sentence has been established.
Attribution
Alleged regional liability for war crimes or crimes against humanity not addressed in other cases.

9 November 2026: JEP charges concerning sexual violence against civilians

The JEP named Floresmiro Burbano among eleven former FARC leaders in subcase 01 of Case 11 concerning sexual and gender-based violence against civilians. The collective decision covers charges such as rape, sexual slavery, torture, displacement and persecution. The judges distinguish direct acts from command responsibility; the allegations in the announcement must not all be ascribed personally to every former commander.

The official JEP statement and the EFE dispatch name the individual among the eleven charged.
Legal status — source text
Formal JEP charges issued on 9 November 2026, with no final judgment.
Attribution
Liability alleged by the JEP for sexual or gender-based violence attributed to the former armed group.
