A Colombian court has ordered 19 companies, including the country’s largest bank, Bancolombia, to return land that was stolen and ended up in private hands during the five-decades-long armed conflict. Judges in charge of land restitution made the decision, which will see 53,821 acres of land returned to displaced campesinos after concluding the companies bought land at very low prices due to the violent situation in the country.
