A key witness in a multi-million dollar scrap metal embezzlement scam in which the sons of former President Alvaro Uribe have been implicated, has died following an assassination attempt, local media reported Friday.
Jose Aldemar was the business partner of the so-called “Junk Czar” James Francisco Arias and allegedly involved in an elaborate scam that defrauded the state out of ten of millions of dollars.
He died in hospital little more than a week after being shot in a restaurant in Envigado, a city bordering Medellin.
. . .
Both sons of former Colombia president Alvaro Uribe, Thomas and Jeronimo are under investigation for their business dealings with the Junk Czar and possible implication in criminal activity.
