Klein to sue Colombia for 1.9 million dollars

26 de noviembre de 2010

The Israeli Yair Klein, who was demanded in extradition by Colombia for having trained paramilitary squads in the late 1980’s, said he plans to sue Colombia for 1.9 million dollars. In an interview with La FM radio station, the mercenary claimed that Colombia’s government should pay for the three years and four months he spent “unfairly” in a Russian jail. Klein was released on November 19 after the extradition request was denied by a European court due to concerns over the human rights violations Klein may face in a Colombian jail.
