After the complaints revealed by Vanguardia for the alleged irregularities in the administrative management of Panachi, with actions such as the bonus received by the former executive director Daniel Enrique Valencia Gómez, the unorthodox management of accounting and the lack of control in the management of the ticket office and the parking lots in the National Park, the Public Ministry opened a disciplinary investigation against the two former directors of the Panachi Corporation, finding them guilty of having violated the principle of public morality and administrative morality.

According to the disciplinary control body, both Daniel Valencia and María Eva Bermúdez acted against the Law by having self-assigned an extra-legal bonus, for $ 10 million per month until further notice, which allowed them to receive double their salary, without counting on the authorization from the Panachi board of directors.

“In his capacity as Executive Director of the PANACHI CORPORATION, he was obliged to respect the laws and not to incur the prohibition of Law 734 of 2002, with which consequently he obtained an illegal and unconsulted personal benefit of two hundred twenty-three million sixty-two one thousand five hundred pesos ($ 223,062,500, oo), which clearly violated administrative morals, especially if one takes into account that he was the Executive Director of an entity that, by express legal provision, is state-owned, “says the Attorney General’s ruling.

In this sense, the Prosecutor’s Office described the lack of the two former directors of Panachi, as very serious by way of fraud, for which reason, it sanctioned Daniel Valencia and Marí Eva Bermúdez, with dismissal and general disability for 15 years.
