Jesús Santrich would be involved in drug trafficking businesses: Néstor Humberto Martínez

For Martinez Neira unravel the network of corruption and drug trafficking associated with the demobilized and fugitive from justice Jesús Santrich was born when the Prosecutor’s Office undertakes an investigation to detect the direction of some money that was going to be used to cover health needs of the, at that time, ex-FARC combatants who returned to civil life after the signing of the Peace Agreement in the government of Juan Manuel Santos.

Marlon marin, the name of the person implicated in the case, would have been detected speaking with other interlocutors of the guerrilla in terms that made the investigators suspect that he was hiding something. Televisions, spare parts for appliances and even vehicle engines, they were pointed out by the investigators as the references used by Marín to cover up the alleged messages with which he gave an account of the crimes carried out up to that moment. The researchers’ insight, he argues Martinez Neira, allowed to establish a line of research that bore fruit in a short time.

In statements for Week, Martínez revealed that this approach guaranteed the progress of the investigations: “The Prosecutor’s Office was following corrupt people from the health sector and with those gentlemen a person who nobody knew anything about began to speak; his name was Marlon Marín and Marlon Marín proposed mechanisms to keep money from the health of the demobilized ”, and finished: “Then Mr. Marín began to speak with a number of people in the territories, businessmen, etc., and it was to keep the money from the post-conflict, from the contracts”.

In a broader framework, knowing the then President Santos Of the matters that involved the execution of those contracts, it would have decided to stop the disbursements, with which the Prosecutor’s Office could have more freedom of action to follow Marín’s movements, which ended up being for drug trafficking. By December 2017Not only did they confirm Marín’s identity, but the prosecution investigators learned that the DEA had advanced an operation in which Santrich appeared as the protagonist. Between 2017 and 2018, both Marín and Santrich, already reintegrated into civil life and with a seat in Congress, allegedly carried out transactions for the delivery of 5 kilos of cocaine and the receipt of 20 million pesos as payment. For the former prosecutor, the capture of Santrich in February 2018 was a coordinated process in which evidence was collected and, above all, the government was kept informed of the proceeding of the investigating entity.

Therefore, it declares “They used independent pieces to conspire against a judicial investigation. The best that can happen to this is that the trial is reached and the country can know all the evidence”.

Marlon marin has collaborated to elucidate his responsibility in the drug business, for which Martínez Neira considers that the work of the Prosecutor’s Office was correct in its investigative procedure and denies that there has been any incriminating attempt on his part: “How are they going to say that it was an entrapment by the Prosecutor’s Office when they were the ones who voluntarily began to do the negotiations and the talks to change a drug business?”, concludes the former prosecutor. Santrich is still at large and photographic records have appeared that account for his integration into the guerrilla dissidents.
