The journalist assured in his text that the congressman “continues to appear in narrations about criminal acts.”
It is a Corruption network with which the health system was manipulated to favor private entities that administered resources and health service providers, explained the Prosecutor’s Office at the time.
There have already been some convictions for the investigation and one of them was that of Jhon Alexánder Colmenares Russi, owner of several IPS in the country sentenced to pay 5 years in prison For conspiracy to commit a crime in competition with bribery, improper use of privileged official information and advice, El Heraldo reported in September 2019.
Colmenares Russi, who admitted his responsibility in these crimes, spoke a few days ago “the codes they used to mention the participants” in what was known as the ‘operating room’, Coronell said.
The journalist cited a fragment of an interrogation in which the defendant details which person he was referring to when some pseudonyms were mentioned in the corruption network and that is where the name of the questioned congressman appears:
“When we referred to ‘Pulgarete,’ Thumb ‘,’ El del finger ‘or’ El man del finger ‘we were talking about Eduardo Pulgar, current senator”.
Coronell cited that document as part of the follow-up he has done to the investigation against the senator because he would have tried to bribe a judge and whose disciplinary process, he says, “walks inexorably towards impunity.”
This is because, as mentioned a few weeks ago, the case has not advanced in the Attorney General’s Office and it is possible that it will not, because next January Margarita Cabello will assume that entity and on the Atlantic Coast the friendship relationship between the elected attorney is known and the senator.
In the same sense, says Coronell, nothing would happen if the case is transferred to the Senate Ethics Committee, to which – also – Pulgar belongs.
“If the Office of the Attorney General loses competence, it will be prosecuted by his colleagues from the Ethics Commission who have never in their history sanctioned a senator,” he said.
This conflict of competences has to be resolved by the Council of State and the disciplinary trial will be suspended until that happens., which may take two more weeks. Finally, the criminal process that is advancing in the Supreme Court of Justice would have decisions.
