This new explosion of disagreements between Vicky Dávila and Eduardo Montealegre had its initial spark last Saturday, when the journalist, based on some audios to which she had access, affirmed that the former prosecutor had made an alleged request to one of his junior prosecutors , Gina Maria Cabarcas, to apparently stop the capture of businessman Luis Gallo.
“Although the investigations are ongoing and there are still no convicts, the audios reveal a possible disgusting influence peddling and at the highest level”Dávila wrote in his Semana column. “[…] The Prosecutor’s Office has just taken the decision to certify copies against former prosecutor Eduardo Montealegre before the Indictment Commission and against the others mentioned before the court’s delegated prosecutors. Hopefully they find the whole truth and those responsible pay to justice ”.
After pointing out some of those that he considers failures of the Montealegre Prosecutor’s Office, Dávila also emphasizes that the former prosecutor “fthat news and caused controversy for presenting himself as a victim in the Uribe case“, And assures that” he did the bear in his extensive and exhausting speeches in which he exposed theories of law that were quite far-fetched and highly criticized by his colleagues “.
This Tuesday, Montealegre released a statement with the title ‘Brief history of a buffoon’, in which, with splashes of literary quotes and different authors, attacks the journalist, and other characters such as the lawyer Jaime Granados and the current Attorney General Francisco Barbosa. De Granados, he says that he “presents false witnesses”; and Barbosa, in addition to calling him “hypocrite”, assures that he is “an amanuense from El Ubérrimo”, the estate of former president Álvaro Uribe.
“As director of the entity’s criminal policy, assigned by the Constitution, I had every right to express my opposition to excessive behavior, similar to that of a wild boar in search of prey, of an official who issues arrest warrants and then release the citizens “, says Montealegre in the text.
In another of its sections, qualifies Dávila as a “preacher of false morality” that he “forgets” that his administration “brought to trial, for the first time in Colombia, a high-level businessman, Luis Gallo, for crimes committed in the armed conflict.”
“I did have the courage to unmask their war crimes, not like Victoria Eugenia, who is silent in the face of crimes against humanity of the powerful linked to drug trafficking and close to his family: the tenebrous Gneco clan. While I accuse, she is silent, ”says Montealegre.
According to Darcy Quinn of Caracol Radio, Vicky Dávila is consulting with her lawyers because there are serious accusations from the former prosecutor, expressed in sections of its statement like this:
“Vicky Dávila, while giving lessons on public ethics, in the shadows pressures officials to distort the truth and accommodate justice to his interests as a journalist in a trance of yellowness, “says Montealegre. “She tried to get the Prosecutor’s Office, in my time, to make decisions contrary to the law to falsely involve the general [Rodolfo] Palomino in crimes he never committed ”.
Quinn rated the entire text as “Very strong” and with a “violent” response. And he asked himself on that station: “Why [Montealegre] did not take action at that time in the face of these pressures? He was the attorney general of the nation. ” He also said that attorney Granados is listing legal actions against Montealegre, for aggravated slander.
Gustavo Gómez, director of the news program ‘6 AM Hoy por hoy’, of the same station, said in this regard: “I believe that Mr. Montealegre is passing some lines of decorum with respect to the people. Beyond the fight in the gallery, there are many issues that must be explained from previous efforts at the Prosecutor’s Office and in other settings. The other is already fighting with adjectives, with qualifiers that enter into the personal plane. Here there is a lot of fabric to cut ”.
But the most acid comment was made by the jurist Hernando Herrera, who began by citing José Manuel Acevedo’s column in El Tiempo, in which (in a different context than the confrontation between Dávila and Montealegre) he described the former prosecutor as a “character” who “He never knew how to lose and that, now in his decline, it was pathetically reduced to a ridiculous meme of those that circulate funny in social networks”.
Herrera said that Montealegre “It is a cartoon painted with the sad line of clowns. And Iván Cancino and multiple criminal lawyers, in fact, all his colleagues say that Montealegre went, and very quickly, from anonymity to discredit. And they also say in the Externado that he had a frugal tantrum because they did not give him the resources he asked for to go abroad, despite the long, very long financing that Mr. Palacino gave him [de Saludcoop]”.
Herrera also accused that the Montealegre prosecutor’s office was “a true contract festival” and that “shamelessly it favored former magistrates who extended the term of this former prosecutor.” But it also deals with “little character soaked in the power that he does not have today “that” barefoot walks the waters of despair “, because” his skinny office, with more furniture than clients, not even hope enters”.
This is Eduardo Montealegre’s criticism of Vicky Dávila:
