Biography
Jose Maria Corredor-Ibague (Boyaco), age 46, ran a Colombian cocaine-manufacturing and -transportation network that paid taxes to the FARC in U.S. currency and weapons. Pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court under the federal narco-terrorism statute; 194 months federal prison.
Custody phases reviewed October 12, 2026: DOJ's September 16, 2013 sentencing report confirms arrest on October 15, 2006, October 2008 extradition, and September 9, 2013 sentencing. Fundación Ideas para la Paz's report, page 3, distinguishes earlier Venezuelan custody and escape from the 2006 recapture. The unsupported May 13, 2005 admission must not imply uninterrupted custody across that escape; it and the placeholder-derived 6,077-day duration have been cleared. The current phase's exact jail-admission date and the existing 2022 release year require further verification. No exact release day or earlier continuous phase is inferred.
Missing exact official endpoint review October 13, 2026: BOP's full-name lookup returns one Jose Maria Corredor-Ibague, register 81452-004, age 59, with noncustody as of February 10, 2022. The uncommon full name and age progression from DOJ's September 2013 report identifying this defendant at age 46 bridge the result. The year-only release is replaced by the official federal endpoint and the register added. Actual initial admission, any earlier halfway-house transition and an identifiable photograph remain unresolved; neither extradition nor arrest is automatically substituted for admission.
Identifiable photograph added October 13, 2026: The original US Treasury/OFAC July 2008 FARC First Front chart individually labels this portrait Jose Maria Corredor Ibague, alias El Boyaco. The entire chart and extracted asset Im2.jpg were visually checked. The native 91-by-112 image is preserved without reconstruction, retouching or invented detail. This portrait publication does not change the separately verified custody endpoint.
