Incoming Colombian President Gustavo Petro will propose the Clan del Golfo crime gang disarm and inform the government about its drug trafficking in exchange for unspecified incentives, his foreign minister said on Wednesday.
Petro, a 62-year-old economist who will take office on Sunday, originally said the Clan del Golfo would need to surrender.
Soon-to-be Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva on Wednesday said a surrender by the clan would involve long jail sentences for members, while an "acceptance" would allow them to receive unnamed benefits.
