Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores met with FARC leaders on October 9, 2026, concerning drug debt. This meeting occurred shortly after a U.S. indictment was issued against Maduro and Flores on October 8, 2026, which placed the name of former FARC commander Rodrigo Londoño Echeverri in an international criminal case. Londoño Echeverri is currently serving restorative sanctions in Colombia for war crimes committed during the country's internal conflict.
