COLOMBIA - President threatens multinationals tried to pay ransom

Two days after the release of twenty-two of twenty-three employees of a subcontractor of the Canadian oil and the Colombian Ecopetrol Talisman, removed within twenty-four hours earlier, the Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos has threatened to expel multinational companies operating locally if they were willing to pay ransoms to illegal armed groups in exchange for the release of employees taken hostage.

"Any company that will pay one peso to one of these bandits will leave the country," he said March 10.
