This was revealed by El Espectador, which detailed that the preliminary investigation against Jaimes was opened because he, as delegate attorney for Alejandro Ordóñez, endorsed a contract from the Military Hospital with a woman who had been convicted and was unable to contract with the State.
The story begins when the former commander of the army general (r) Ricardo Gómez Nieto sent a request to Jaimes, to know if the woman was still disabled, the newspaper said.
Jaimes endorsed the hiring with his signature and, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, cited by the newspaper, “misled” Gómez Nieto; later, the Comptroller’s Office said that the contract, for 42 million pesos, could not be signed.
In this regard, the Supreme Court of Justice said that the hospital directives did not need to receive Jaimes’ endorsement, because the woman’s disability was on the website of the Attorney General’s Office, and cataloged the attitude of the then delegate attorney of “irregular and suspicious”, according to the newspaper, because it also had no competence in this hiring.
“Was not the information obtained from an official entity sufficient, which from the constitutional and legal point of view is empowered to exercise this function? In the same way, another question arises: why was he addressed to a specific official (Jaimes Durán) who did not hold disciplinary functions? ”, Said the high court, according to the newspaper.
In 2018, El Espectador details, the Prosecutor’s Office requested the preclusion of the case considering that the woman’s disability had already been overcome; However, the Court denied that claim, in the first and second instance, so the process remains open in the accusing entity.
The preliminary inquiry It is led by a prosecutor delegated to the Court, whose chief is Jaimes, indicates the media, and that he did not want to speak about this case, according to the newspaper.
Jaimes, added Noticias Uno, he is “the third most important man in the Prosecutor’s Office”, who was assigned the investigation against Álvaro Uribe, for the case of false witnesses.
Precisely because he was close to the former attorney Ordóñez (openly Uribe) they requested Jaimes’s inability to carry out the trial of the former president; However, Jaimes continues to lead the investigation of the also former senator.
