Colombia calls police who discovered 2018 election fraud plot to trial


by Adriaan Alsema October 21, 2020

Colombia’s prosecution on Tuesday called the policemen who discovered that the party of President Ivan Duque sought mafia support to rig the 2018 elections to trial.

According to the prosecution, the two police intelligence officials were illegally wiretapping other policemen suspected of corruption.

The investigation against the cops is controversial because it adds to evidence that Prosecutor General Francisco Barbosa is trying to cover up the alleged alleged election fraud.

The cops were called to trial four months after their arrest while investigations into the Duque campaign’s collusion with the drug trafficking organization of Marquitos Figueroa have barely progressed.The journalists who revealed the evidence that the Democratic Center party conspired with late money launderer Jose Guillermo Hernandez have accused the chief prosecutor of withholding evidence.
