Rodrigo Londoño-Echeverry aka "Timoleón Jiménez" or "Timochenko" (born January 22, 1959 in Calarcá, Quindío) is a Colombian guerrilla commander, member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) higher command and secretariat.
According to the propaganda of the US Department of State, alias Timoleon Jimenez is an advisor to Magdalena Medio Bloc of the FARC-EP and has set the FARC’s cocaine policies directing and controlling the production, manufacture, and distribution of hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States and the world; including the "taxation" of the illegal drug trade in Colombia to raise funds for the FARC and the murder of hundreds of people who violated or interfered with the FARC’s cocaine policies.[1] none of this accusations have never been proved, and are widely considered US propaganda.
Following this US version, in 2000, along with Pastor Alape, he ordered the Magdalena Medio Bloc to retake coca territory, shoot down fumigation aircraft, increase coca production, kidnap United States citizens and killed farmers who sold cocaine paste to non-FARC buyers. The US Department of State is offering a reward of up to $5 million dollars for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction.[2]
