Colombia’s police chief facing sexual harassment, wiretapping and gay police prostitution claims

Colombia’s police chief facing sexual harassment, wiretapping and gay police prostitution claims
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Dec 7, 2015

Colombia’s National Police chief met with the defense minister Sunday after media revealed that hundreds of cadets allegedly worked in a gay prostitution ring within the institution.

According to the weekly, the government is considering the early retirement of General Rodolfo Palomino after an accumulation of scandals made his position virtually untenable.

The general was already in trouble after audio was leaked in which three officials stated that Palomino in 1998 had sexually harassed a subordinate during an official ceremony.

Last week, Prosecutor General Eduardo Montealegre opened an investigation into the alleged shadowing, wiretapping and intimidating of prominent journalists who had covered the story.
