According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, Jonathan Obando Perez was discharged last week from a Bogota hospital.

The 34-year-old was one of two survivors of a U.S.

military strike on a suspected drug-smuggling submarine.

Federal officials in Bogota say there were no plans to launch a formal investigation against Obando as it has no evidence he committed a crime in Colombia.

President Trump had posted on social media that Obando would be detained and prosecuted in Colombia.

Officials there also made similar assurances.

The other survivor of the attack, an Ecuadorian with a criminal narcotics record in the U.S., was also released once returned to his home country.
