The National Unit of Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering, with the support of the National Police, have initiated the confiscation of 39 illegally-gained assets belonging to Javier Baena V\u00e9lez and his immediate family in Cali, Yumbo, Florida and Candelaria (Valle del Cauca).<\/p>\n
The work of the Attorney General\u2019s Office began in May 2005 after the 4\u00b0 Circuit Criminal Court in charge of streamlining backlogged cases in Bogot\u00e1, by means of a sentence related to asset forfeiture concerning Efra\u00edn Hern\u00e1ndez Ram\u00edrez, alias “Don Efra” properties, it decreed to send copies to the authorities in order to begin the confiscation of the properties registered in Baena V\u00e9lez\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n
The properties, matter of confiscation, are motels, farms, hotels, houses, apartments and plots.<\/p>\n
On November 5, 1996 the Prosecutors\u2019 Commission from the Regional Directorate of Prosecutor’s offices in Bogot\u00e1 issued an estoppel in favor of Baena Velez for violation of the Law 30 of 1986 and illicit enrichment of individuals, but in 2005 the Court in charge of streamlining backlogged cases in Bogot\u00e1 ordered to forfeit the properties held by Baena V\u00e9lez.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General\u2019s Office, in compliance with the judge’s ruling, it began the asset forfeiture procedure, but two years later, in a second instance the Prosecutor delegated to the Superior Court in Bogot\u00e1 revoked the procedure and ordered to return the 39 properties to Baena Velez. In June 2009, the Attorney General\u2019s Office issued inadmissibility on the remaining assets.<\/p>\n
In March of last year, the First Criminal Judge of the Specialized Circuit in Bogot\u00e1 in charge of Asset Forfeiture decreed the nullity of proceedings from the beginning of the process, decision which gave rise to the properties confiscation which is being conducted this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
