As part of the investigative actions defined against corruption, the Office of the Attorney General prioritized activities to guarantee transparency and legality in the public functions and the exercise of judicial powers by its public servants.
In that sense, it identified alleged irregular behaviors allegedly committed by two prosecutors appointed to the Sectional Office in Cali. According to the evidence, they allegedly omitted arrest warrants, and directed, delayed, or kept processes against people investigated for drug trafficking or linked with criminal organizations, in exchange for handouts.
Both officials, a special prosecutor, and a coordinating prosecutor were arrested and will be brought before a judge. In the hearings*, they will be charged, according to their level of participation, with conspiracy to commit a crime, active bribery, procedural fraud, breach of duty (omission), and ideological representation, among others.
Prison sentence for ‘Mueble Fino’
