Colombia arrests prosecution's former financial crimes chief
Prosecutor allegedly extorted drug traffickers wanted by US
by Adriaan Alsema February 14, 2023
Colombia’s former top financial crimes prosecutor was arrested for her alleged involvement in the extortion of drug trafficking suspects.
The prosecution’s former financial crimes chief, Ana Catalina Noguera, was arrested on corruption charges together with a colonel and two other members of the National Police’s international cooperation unit.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the officials tracked down alleged drug traffickers and demanded money to obstruct their extradition to other countries.
Noguera is a confidant of former Prosecutor General Nestor Humberto Martinez, who made her head of the Asset Forfeiture department a few weeks before former President Ivan Duque took office in 2018.
