The coca factory of Duque’s former ambassador
Duque’s former ambassador to Uruguay, Fernando Sanclemente, found himself in trouble again after US authorities were able to track cocaine that was intercepted in New York to the ambassador’s family estate in December 2019.
The initial prosecutor was making quite a lot of progress until Barbosa interfered in April last year. The caretakers of the estate agreed to a plea bargain, which was revoked by Hernandez, who has a history of bungling investigations into allegedly criminal government officials.
The prosecutor didn’t summon the former ambassador to give testimony until December after one of the caretakers accused Sanclemente of destroying evidence.

Efforts of Colombia’s prosecution to jail the policemen who discovered that President Ivan Duque‘s far-right party conspired with the mafia to rig the 2018 elections suffered a major setback on Wednesday.
The Bogota superior tribunal revoked a lower court’s decision to detain Major Yefferson Tocarruncho and Sergeant Wadith Velasquez, claiming the prosecution had no evidence to sustain claims the investigators were illegally wiretapping colleagues.
Controversial prosecutor Daniel Hernandez, who has allegedly covered up of some of Colombia’s biggest corruption scandals, had requested the cops’ arrest based on nothing but suppositions, according to the court.
According to Hernandez, the policemen who discovered that the Democratic Center (CD) party conspired with the drug trafficking organization of Marquitos Figueroa to rig the 2018 elections, illegally wiretapped colleagues.
