Ill-gotten Gains

Responsible for the region that includes Peñas Coloradas, a guerrilla leader known as Fabián Ramírez radios his commanders from a secure camp hidden in the rain forest. His organization, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), is fighting government and paramilitary troops in a civil conflict that has bedeviled the country for the past four decades. To help finance its operations, the FARC levies a 30 percent tax on every cocaine-related transaction in the region. Nationwide it makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year this way.
