Colombia's former chief prosecutor facing 'high treason' charge
by Adriaan Alsema November 27, 2020
Colombia’s former chief prosecutor can expect high treason charges for seeking to end the peace process in collusion with the DEA, according to the opposition.
In a bombshell debate, opposition senators revealed more evidence of a conspiracy between former Prosecutor General Nestor Humberto Martinez and the DEA that all but sunk the country’s peace process.
The conspiracy to frame former leaders of demobilized FARC guerrillas in the middle of a peace process add to multiple attempts of Martinez to push the country back into war and jointly justify high treason charges, according to Green Alliance Senator Antonio Sanguino.
We are talking about an official who seriously endangered national security and the national sovereignty and this, as my colleague Ivan Cepeda said, constitutes high treason.
Senator Antonio Sanguino (Green Alliance)
