According to Semana, the representatives Edward Rodríguez and Mauricio Toro issued the summons this Tuesday after months of investigating the case.
According to this medium, Barceló is the one would have ordered the telephone interception of former congressman Nilton Córdoba, but the person who ended up being heard was Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
The Court held that it was an error, but gave validity to the wiretaps and they ended up serving in the process of alleged manipulation of witnesses that the former senator is anticipating, to the point that they were even key to ordering his house arrest.
On the contrary, the defense of the also former president has always alleged that it was about illegal interceptions and asks that that is why they are not taken into account.
The magazine reveals that, according to the Indictment Commission, the order was addressed to Uribe’s telephone numbers. However, El Espectador points out that since 2018 the high court has reiterated to the former congressman that “his number was intercepted because it was repeatedly registered ‘as contact information’ for Córdoba“.
Semana also indicated that Óscar Álvarez, the official in charge of listening to the former president, argued before the Prosecutor’s Office that he reported that the intercepted was not the one he was supposed to listen to, but explained that he had no way of interrupting the process and did so on orders from his superiors.
However, the newspaper recalls that “the Examining Room even said that It was not possible to know in advance who the cell line was and that, in any case, the essence of this discussion is that the order was legal“. In addition, he adds that for now the free version is a “very preliminary” stage of the investigation.
Consulted by Semana, Barceló briefly referred to the summons. Although he said that he only found out about his subpoena, which does not yet have an exact date, he limited himself to saying that “it was to be expected”.
