The former player of Millonarios, Cali and America was the victim of a robbery while in front of the restaurant he runs and bears his name, located in the Prado Veraniego neighborhood, in the town of Suba (north of Bogotá), reported Blu Radio.
The ‘old Willy’ commented on that radio frequency how the events occurred and showed his outrage at being a victim of crime in broad daylight and on a busy street in the north of the city.
He also detailed that It all started when the criminals, who posed as cops in civilian clothes, they called him to alert him about an alleged robbery in the area.
“They call me from a car and I approach; They begin to tell me that there had been a robbery here. The guy grabs me and tells me to give him the money, he took out the chain and I had to take out the money and give it to him, “said Ortiz, in dialogue with that station.
The historic striker of the Colombia National Team, who played 4 World Cup qualifiers with the ‘tricolor’, pointed out that his case is one of those that represent the increase in insecurity in Bogota and that because of impunity, these crimes will follow happening.
“They want to kidnap people, look for money as it is and since nothing happens to them, it is a difficulty for the citizen, for good people,” reflected Ortiz, in conversation with Blu Radio.
