Colombia's mafia and the media Part 1: Vicky Davila
by Adriaan Alsema June 23, 2020
Vicky Davila is arguably one of Colombia’s worst journalists and one of the most powerful mafia infiltrators into the media.
The daughter-in-law of one of the Caribbean region’s most feared mafia matriarchs got her journalism degree more than 25 years ago already, but can still not conduct an interview or spell correctly.
On top of that, Davila screwed up the only scoop in her career and even porn star Nacho Vidal questioned her intelligence.
Davila invents Mafia TV
For the owners of weekly Semana, Davila was the perfect editor-in-chief of their project to create Semana TV, their experiment to create the “Colombian Fox News Network” earlier this year.
Nobody knew what a Colombian version of the US television program would look like back in April, but two months later Davila had turned it into a narco plaything.

US taxpayers have been required to pump over $10 billion tax dollars into Colombia's right-wing government since 2000. Money expected to go to poor Colombian farmers was forked over to wealthy landowners, and celebrities, etc. even a former Miss Colombia.
