The defense of the former director of Panachi appealed the decision of the Santander Regional Attorney’s Office, so the disciplinary process was transferred to the Delegate Attorney’s Office for State Contracting where it is in distribution.

The process

The Attorney General’s Office has been investigating alleged administrative and financial irregularities in resource management since 2007, the date on which the Chicamocha National Park Corporation, Panachi, was created based on citizen complaints about the administrative management of the different tourist parks. Among these administrative irregularities, the Prosecutor’s Office is investigating why the three former directors received economic bonuses that were not approved by the board of directors and that amounted to $ 350 million.

In addition, the legality of onerous loans signed with natural persons close to $ 300 million is being investigated, also without the approval of the board of directors and at higher interest rates than those authorized by the banking authorities.
