His name has been involved in the command of at least eight paramilitary groups that perpetrated several massacres such as Mapiripán . On September 24 , 2002 Salvatore Mancuso and Juan Carlos Sierra Ramirez were formally charged by the Colombian and the American governments for narcotrafficking . The US Government applied for his extradition to the United States in order to be judged by an American court . Marcuso was so unconcerned about it that he attended the ceremony of the " Bloque Bananero " 's demobilization , following the peace process with the Colombian State on November 24 , 2004 . The extradition application was initially accepted by government of Colombia , but soon was suspended to complete the demobilization process of the AUC . Mancuso demobilized officially and surrendered to the Colombian authorities in the " Bloque Catatumbo " 's demobilization ceremony on December 10 , 2006 . Gonzo author Matthew Thompson describes his 2006 meeting with Mancuso in Montería in '' My Colombian Death '' ( 2008 )
