As a result of two home searches carried out in Barranquilla today, Carlos Donaldo Martínez was arrested. He was in charge of the technical support to count votes in elections in that city. He allegedly altered electoral results jointly with the commission of abusive access to a computer system and violation of personal data.
The investigation is conducted by the National Office of Regional Offices and Public Safety due to an alleged commission of electoral fraud during the counting of votes in elections for local authorities in October 25. This would have affected the results of Public Corporations for Departmental Assembly in Atlántico and Municipal Council in Barranquilla.
