The Attorney General, Francisco Barbosa, sent a harsh message to former Senator Gustavo Bolívar for another postponement of his prosecution proceedings.
It should be noted that the prosecution agreed with the former MP to carry out the procedure this Tuesday, but it was scheduled for January 20.
Faced with this new delay in Bolívar appearing to provide more information on his complaints, the Attorney General, Francisco Barbosa, asked that they “put their faces on the prosecution and not just the media to get likes” .
Moreover, he added that it happened not only to Gustavo Bolívar, but also to the director of the National Protection Unit (UNP) and to the director of the Special Assets Society (SAE), criticizing them for being a “scandal “, but when the public prosecutor orders them not to go.
Similarly, Gustavo Bolívar was subpoenaed by the Supreme Court for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18, to expand his statement and complaint about an alleged network of trafficking in women within the Congress of the Republic.
The proceedings will be conducted before magistrate Marco Antonio Rueda, who is part of the Supreme Court’s investigative chamber.
Thus, the ex-legislator must present evidence of the existence of a sex trafficking network within Congress.
Bolívar, in addition to the Supreme Court, must expand his complaints before the Attorney General’s Office, the Congressional Committee on Ethics and the Office of the National Attorney General.
On the other hand, there is anticipation for Bolívar’s arrival on the Congressional Ethics Committee, where the former Historical Pact lawmaker is expected to expand his complaints.
The subpoena came from Liberal Senator Jhon Jairo Roldán, who was appointed rapporteur to analyze the complaint. At the same time, the practice and collection of evidence was decreed.
“It is appropriate, necessary and appropriate that Mr. Gustavo Bolívar Moreno, as a former senator and citizen, provide this Commission with the information he claims to have regarding the facts he has stated, in order to advance the investigation that will allow clarification of the allegedly reprehensible facts,” the summons read.
In Congress. Following Bolívar’s complaints, Senate President Senator Roy Barreras and House Speaker Representative David Racero have set up a new email where officials and contractors can make their case.
“If you are a victim or aware of the case of a woman in the Senate or House who has been victimized, you may send your complaint to denunciasegura@senado.gov.co, where the Legal Affairs Committee for Women procedure will perform. respective follow-up.” is stated in the letter of the board of directors of the Congress of the Republic.
