Until a few days ago, Zaida Johana Gómez, judicial 222 attorney for Administrative Matters, was in charge of the conciliation between the EPM company and the three construction consortiums of Hidroituango: CCC Ituango, Generación Ituango and Ingetec-Sedic. After two cancellations of the hearing as a result of the lawsuit of the mayor of Medellín, Daniel Quintero, who chairs the board of directors of EPM, seeking to recover $ 9.9 billion for the damages and delays in the mega-project, it was changed by Iván Darío Gómez Lee. He will take up the case after Attorney Fernando Carrillo installs the meeting.

However, the change in the prosecutor in charge of the case would have weighed the work record of Zaida Johana Gómez as head of the Office of Internal Disciplinary Control of Public Companies of Medellín (EPM), between 2014 and 2016. This would have generated an inability for Gómez , who is a lawyer specialized in administrative and procedural law, putting at risk one of the cases that have the eyes of the entire Paisa institutionalism at risk. Iván Darío Gómez Lee is an administrative lawyer. He is a PHD professor in legal security, general ex-auditor and delegate attorney in Administrative Conciliation and before the State Council.

In the event that a conciliation is not reached, EPM could file the lawsuit in the Administrative Court of Antioquia. However, this first step could take up to three months. This was the conciliation hearing:
