Marín Arango met with leaders of the Cartel of the Suns in furtherance of the narco-terrorism conspiracy in order to: arrange for the transportation and distribution of large cocaine shipments; secure shipments of automatic weapons as payment for cocaine; and train Venezuelan militia members loyal to the Cartel of the Suns at FARC camps.
