Evidence in Colombia’s high profile judicial investigations disappearing

Evidence in Colombia’s high profile judicial investigations disappearing
Jun 20, 2014 posted by Nicolas Bedoya

Agents from the Prosecutor General’s office checked the computers of magistrates on Colombia’s State Council to see if they were being spied on, Colombian media reported on Friday. Agents from the Prosecutor General’s criminal investigation unit (CTI) checked the office of Magistrate Gustavo Gomez Aranguren for illegal spying after certain files had apparently been remotely deleted from his computer, according to Colombia’s FM Radio.

The Prosecutor General was invited by the president of the State Council, Maria Claudia Rojas, to see if they could find out who had been illegally accessing information on high profile judicial information.Rojas informed FM Radio that “there are times when we feel our decisions are being filtered and known by third parties, with commas and everything, even before they are analyzed by the criminal court, which has us very worried.”

This revelation comes at the same time that it was uncovered that evidence pertaining to Colombia’s former intelligence agency’s wiretapping scandal had gone missing from Bogota’s National Archive.

According to Colombia’s El Espectador newspaper, it has been established that Magistrate Aranguren’s computer would turn on and off without anyone controlling it, files would be deleted, and some paragraphs of rulings manipulated to change key phrases in the sentences. The hypothesis is that the computer was being controlled remotely.

by the same people who put it in motion in the beginning.

Whoever was powerful enough to start this filth up originally, still retains that power unless Santos' government can flush them out.

Really dirty people, pretending to be patriots, just like our own filthy right-wingers.
