The Office of the Attorney General charged the legal representative of a health center in Cauca for corruption

He is investigated for allegedly handing over COP $ 300,000,000 so that the entity would be favored in a reorganization process carried out by the Superintendency of Health.

The Office of the Attorney General has new evidence that would link Gustavo Adolfo Aguilar Vivas, former legal representative of Asmet Salud EPS, with other acts of alleged corruption that occurred while he served as director of the aforementioned health center (Empresa Prestadora de Salud EPS) in Cauca.

This person, apparently, gave COP $300,000,000 to Eva Katherine Carrascal Cantillo, who served as delegate superintendent for the Institutional Supervision of the National Superintendency of Health (Superintendencia Nacional de Salud) to be helped with a favorable decision regarding a reorganization plan presented by the EPS. Carrascal Cantillo will also be charged for these same facts.

There is evidence that indicates that in 2017, Aguilar Vivas and the then public servant held meetings to agree on a financial and administrative improvement model for Asmet Salud. At the end of that year, COP $ 50,000,000 were allegedly handed over.

Subsequently, in January 2018, the former EPS’ legal representative allegedly gave the excess money ($ 250,000,000) and received in exchange the resolution about the reorganization that allowed the entity to continue operating.

In that sense, a prosecutor appointed to the Special Directorate against Corruption charged Gustavo Adolfo Aguilar Vivas with bribery. The defendant did not plead guilty to the charges.

Recently, this person was prosecuted and remains deprived of his liberty for the alleged appropriation of more than 21 billion from the General Health System.

The Office of the Attorney General makes this information public for reasons of general interest.

When we speak, results follow.
