While the judicial officer who rejected the money had to leave the country, the investigated congressman could make his corruption case one more that remains in impunity, according to Daniel Coronell’s column.
The journalist explains in his text that the case is currently advancing in the Supreme Court of Justice and in the Attorney General’s Office. However, a new complaint could be your lifeline.
Thanks to Rafael Antonio Esguerra, a lawyer who has had positions on the Atlantic Coast, where Pulgar is from, denounced him “before the laughable Senate Ethics Commission, of which he himself [Pulgar] is a member “ and that was the golden opportunity for the senator from La U, Coronell details:
“Mr. Esguerra’s timely complaint gave Pulgar the opportunity to discuss whether his investigation should be carried out by the Attorney General’s Office or the Senate Ethics Committee. The collision of powers must be resolved by the Council of State. While he decides, the term of the current attorney Fernando Carrillo will end and Margarita Cabello will take office, whom Pulgar helped elect first as a candidate for the U Party and then as attorney general.
There are even photographs that show the closeness of Thumb and Hair, like the one that opens this note, in which they are seen chatting at a party.
That in regards to the investigation in the Attorney General’s Office, and the one that is being carried out in the Supreme Court, says the journalist, there are people in Barranquilla who assure that this process will come to nothing “because the audio that incriminates him magically disappeared”.
However, in his column Coronell shares several fragments of that audio and shows that “it has not disappeared” and also its authenticity has already been validated by the Instruction Room.
On the other hand, the judge the senator tried to bribe had to leave the country for security reasons, although he was willing to attend the high court summons virtually.
However, the conclusion of the journalist’s column poses an even more bleak picture:
“The ending couldn’t be sadder. The judge who did not sell himself has to live in exile and poverty. Thumb continues in his business while outwitting the Attorney General’s Office. If things get complicated for him in the Supreme Court, there will always be the way out of resigning from the Senate to put himself in the comfortable hands of the Prosecutor’s Office ”.
The accusing body, whose head is Francisco Barbosa, would be another option for the congressman, meanwhile the possession of Margarita Cabello in the Public Ministry is approaching, which will take place in mid-February. For now, the only thing this scandal has cost Pulgar was a new Senate seat.
To this is added that Cabello is not exempt from corruption scandals, since she is accused of using her power to favor the former mayor of Barranquilla Álex Char, for the complaint that the rancher Luis Enrique Guzmán Chams had made against him.
“Daisy flower […] He is a person who handles the strings of justice in the Atlantic, ”the rancher told María Jimena Duzán when talking about the case.
Precisely, the journalist dedicates her column this Sunday to Cabello, and assures that she has not counted “what are her bureaucratic quotas in the kingdom of the Char” and reviews some of them:
“His son, Alberto Mario Caparroso Cabello, has two contracts for about 800 million pesos with the Mayor’s Office of Barranquilla for arrangement of parks, which were granted when Álex Char was mayor. And according to my sources, the former mayor would have handed over to the elected attorney the Secretary of Sports.
Given this, Duzán sentences that “a prosecutor who has not taken office and is already being singled out for pulling the strings of justice in favor of the powerful Char clan, from which it in turn accrues political fees, it cannot be a guarantee of anything good.
That is to say that as the day approaches in which Cabello will assume the reins of the control body, there are more questions against him.
