The governor of Cesar, a member of one of Colombia’s most notorious crime families, said to be pleased with investments of the National Registry ahead of the 2022 elections.
Governor Luis Alberto Monsalve of the Gnecco crime family expressed his gratitude on Friday after meeting with controversial National Registrar Alexander Vega.
According to the Governor’s Office, Vega met with the son of alleged crime lord Cielo Gnecco “with the purpose to contribute to the strengthening of democracy and the processes executed by the National Registry in the Cesar province.”
The visit came days after President Ivan Duque and Monsalve announced an investment of “almost 4.4 trillion pesos ($1.2 billion) that will be available for high-impact social and economic projects” in the Caribbean region.
