It was also reported that the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (INPEC) will define the place of detention for Giraldo Serna.

Additionally, it was indicated that "he will be offered the necessary security measures for him to appear before the Colombian courts," according to the official note.

On January 14, a senior US immigration official confirmed to CNN that the country would deport "El Patron" to Colombia after he served a drug trafficking sentence.

At the time, he was in the custody of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).

The former paramilitary chief was extradited to the United States in 2008. CNN is trying to determine if he has legal representation in Colombia.
