With a vote of 17 to 9, the plenary chamber of the Council of State determined that in the approval process of the free zone of Mosquera, Cundinamarca, no irregularity was demonstrated that constitutes a violation of administrative morality.
This in the framework of a popular action that the high court was studying, filed by the journalist Felipe Zuleta, against the decision that gave life to that free zone and that, according to him, would have ended up irregularly benefiting the children of former president Álvaro Uribe: Tomás and Jerónimo.
The decision of the plenary chamber of the Council of State was taken when the presentation of magistrate Alberto Montaña was defeated, who considered that The violation of administrative morality was demonstrated in the processing of this free zone.
However, as 17 magistrates considered that this was not proven and their presentation was defeated, now the robed Carlos Moreno will have to prepare another presentation, in which he collects today’s vote from the full room.
This new presentation, which will then be contrary to that of Montaña, must once again be voted on by the plenary chamber for its approval.

The popular action that Zuleta had filed against Dian, the Ministries of Finance and Commerce and the Intersectorial Commission of Free Zones asked to revoke the creation of this free zone, which is in an area where there was some land that was owned by Tomás and Jerónimo Uribe.
However, in 2011 the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca ruled on the case and considered that there were no irregularities nor were the land uses of that land modified “which undoubtedly demonstrates said favoring that is predicated in the lawsuit, because the intended use since 2000 was none other than the industrial one, by which date Dr. Álvaro Uribe was not president of the Republic of Colombia and no interference could be exercised on condition of a nonexistent magistracy ”.

The Administrative Court ruling went on to say that the lots acquired by Uribe’s children were located in an urban area of Mosquera that was listed as an industrial area in the Territorial Ordering Plan (POT).
But that first decision had been challenged, so the process reached the hands of the Council of State, which, as the Administrative Court had already said, considered that are not shown irregulardes that constitute a violation of administrative morality.
