by Adriaan Alsema March 11, 2020
A leading opposition senator announced criminal charges against Colombia’s former chief prosecutor after he got tied up in a growing scandal over narcos’ involvement in rigging the 2018 election.
Robledo said he would file criminal charges against former Prosecutor General Nestor Humberto Martinez for allegedly covering up wiretaps in which a late drug money launderer was coordinating vote-buying for President Ivan Duque.

The leaking of the wiretaps of Duque’s alleged mafia associate Jose Guillermo Hernandez have led to a slew of investigations against Duque, his political patron and former President Alvaro Uribe.
