CHAPTER IV
Investigation and prosecution

Article 25. Facts that come to be known after the verdict or the pardon. If the members of illegal armed groups who received the benefits of Law 782 of 2002, or who benefitted from the alternative sentence under this law, subsequently come to be accused of crimes committed during and on occasion of their membership in these groups and prior to their demobilization, that conduct shall be investigated and judged by the competent authorities and the laws in force at the time of such conduct, without prejudice to the granting of the alternative sentence in the event that they collaborate effectively in clarifying or accept, orally or in writing, freely, voluntarily, expressly, and spontaneously, having been duly advised by their defense counsel, their participation in their commission, and so long as the omission was not intentional. In this case, the convicted person may benefit from the alternative sentence. The alternative sentences shall be served concurrently, without exceeding the maximum terms established in this law.
Taking into account the seriousness of the new facts judged, the judicial authority shall impose an increase of twenty percent of the alternative penalty imposed, and a similar increase of the time on probation.
