The Attorney General’s Office confirmed that Sergio Hernán Perdomo Liévano was committed suicide on wednesday, towards noon. He was being held in the cells of Paloqueamao, captured for the purpose of extradition to the United States for bank fraud.
Perdomo Liévano was captured – on February 20 of this year – at the El Dorado international airport in Bogotá, when he tried to board a flight to Madrid, Spain. .
Perdomo, 54, was required by the Court of the Southern District of Florida, United States.
Perdomo was accused of going to an intermediary and using false documents and information to obtain a loan for $ 950,000 in the United States to, supposedly, buy a condominium.
Apparently, he disappeared with the money and the bank took as part of payment the funds of the woman who made the request for the money.
