Guilty verdict against Jorge Arturo Moreno Ojeda, aka “Zar de la Seguridad” (tzar of security), was returned by a judge in Bogotá. An arrest warrant was also issued in order to locate and transfer him to prison.
The Office of the Attorney General proved that this person was the head of a business group that offered private surveillance services and that in 2012 irregularly won four tenders that allowed him to work for different companies.
The evidence showed that temporary unions and firms that were composed of companies belonging to the “Zar de la Seguridad” (tzar of security) participated in tenders. Some of them were constituted according to terms and bid specifications. This way, Moreno Ojeda obtained the contracts regardless of which bidder they were awarded to.
