Formed: 
January 1, 2002

Los Rastrojos is an independent group within the Bandas Criminales (BACRIM). Los Rastrojos formed as the armed division of Wilbur Varela in 2002. Los Rastrojos tried to demobilize as a part of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) in 2006; however, the Colombian government would not enter into negotiations with the organization. Subsequently, the group followed aliases “Comba” and “Diego Rastrojo” and began to engage in organized crime, specifically drug trafficking.
