Meanwhile, the leader of the rebel group that took the football player's parents hostage earlier acknowledged that they had made a "mistake" in not releasing his father, Luis Manuel Diaz.
Peace negotiations with the ELN are still ongoing and military personnel are currently seeking to release Diaz's father.
