Colombia arrests coalition senator on bribery charges
by Adriaan Alsema December 1, 2020
The coalition of Colombia’s President Ivan Duque lost another seat in the Senate after the arrest of a senator on bribery charges.
Senator Eduardo Pulgar of the center-right U Party was arrested on Bogota‘s El Dorado airport after the Supreme Court warranted his arrest.
The senator is being investigated by the top court for allegedly trying to bribe a judge in his native province Antioquia who was investigating the Pulgar’s 2018 election campaign sponsors.
With the arrest of Pulgar, Duque’s coalition of center-right, conservative and far-right parties lost another vote in the Senate.
