2008-07-27 |
(Xinhua) -- Spanish Police said on Saturday that they have arrested a woman suspected of being the representative of Colombian FARC guerrillas in Spain. Maria Remedios Garcia Albert, 57, allegedly raised funds for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in Spain, local media reported, citing a police official. The Spanish Interior Ministry was quoted as saying that Garcia Albert had provided logistical support for FARC and had direct contacts with Raul Reyes, the FARC number two leader who was killed by Colombian troops inside Ecuador in March. She was found in possession of separate sums of money she intended to send to FARC representatives in Europe, the ministry said in a statement. Emails sent to her from computers used by Raul Reyes led to her arrest in Madrid, the report said. |
