All investigating Colombia's 2018 election fraud plot will end up in jail: journalist by Adriaan Als

Almost three months after journalist Gonzalo Guillen revealed evidence that Colombia’s’ruling party and drug traffickers plotted to rig the 2018 elections, only the cops who discovered the alleged fraud are in jail.

In an interview with Semana, the senior journalist said the jailing of the policemen was meant prevent the exposure of ties between Duque’s far-right Democratic Center party and the drug trafficking organization of Marquitos Figueroa, a scandal popularly known as “Ñeñepolitica.”

If they jail the two investigating policemen — who were going to be decorated before — then the message is very clear: whoever investigates Ñeñepolitica or this kind of crime that touches guys like Duque already knows what will happen.

Chief prosecutor Francisco Barbosa, a long-time friend of the president, has embarked on a “witch hunt” and is making sure nobody at the Prosecutor General’s Office’s investigates the case, according to Guillen.
