Common card · No. 296850

José Vicente Castaño-Gil, alias El Profe (born July 2, 1957 - disappeared in 2007), was a former leader and founder of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a right-wing Colombian paramilitary organization. After demobilizing from AUC, he was accused of murdering his brother and former AUC leader Carlos Castaño and of narcotics trafficking by both the Colombian government and the government of the United States. In August 2004, the United States formally requested his extradition and in August 2006 was added to the Narcotics Rewards Program with a reward of capture for 5,000,000 USD. Castaño remained, however, a fugitive until his apparent death in 2007 and was the presumed chief of the criminal organization Águilas Negras made up of former AUC paramilitary members.
