Opposition party president leaves Colombia claiming imminent arrest
Posted by Stephen Gill on Mar 9, 2016

Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, the conservative politician who almost won the 2014 elections, has left the country having been warned about his possible capture by investigating authorities.

Former President Alvaro Uribe of Zuluaga’s Democratic Center party said Tuesday he has been informed that the prosecution has already prepared an arrest warrant against the political leader.

The former president also said that prosecutors plan to file criminal charges against his two sons because of their dealings with a shady businessman.

Zuluaga has been investigated since last year because campaign employees illegally obtained classified information of ongoing peace talks, allegedly with the knowledge of the candidate himself.
