Colombian judicial authorities have begun investigating two army generals and at least 20 other members of the military for illegally funneling funds to mining companies.

The two generals are Nicasio de Jesus Martinez, commander of the 5th Division, and Nestor Rogelio Robinson, commander of the 4th Brigade.

Both men have been put on non-active together with eight other (former) members of the 4th Brigade which has its base in Medellin, Colombia’s second largest city.

According to local press, a total of 30 members of the military could be implicated in the allegedly illegal embezzling of funds that came from mining companies in the southwest of the Antioquia State of which Medellin is the capital.
