The former Public Instruments registrar, two public servants of the so called Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (Igac in spanish ) and three private individuals were arrested
A preventive detention order was issued for 3 former public servants and 3 private individuals for alleged irregular practices in regard to the registry of real properties in Cartago (Valle del Cauca).
That was the decision made by a municipal court (Guarantee Court) at the request of the Office of the Attorney General.
Within the framework of the so called “Bolsillos de Cristal”* plan, it was possible to determine that the above mentioned individuals committed forgery of public and private documents of real properties by impersonating the owners in order to appropriate the properties and sell them.
*“Bolsillos de Cristal” is a plan which was promoted by the Office of the Attorney General in Colombia in order to fight against corruption.
