Colombia's prosecution announces raid on ruling party office in election fraud probe
by Adriaan Alsema July 1, 2020
Colombia’s prosecution surprisingly announced a raid on the main office of the ruling Democratic Center (CD) party as part of a 2018 elections fraud probe.
The unusual warning ahead of the raid is the latest in a series of irregularities in the investigation into the ties between the CD and the drug trafficking organization of Marquitos Figueroa.
The investigation into the allegedly fraudulent election of President Ivan Duque is led by chief prosecutor Francisco Barbosa, a personal friend of the president.
Since when are raids announced?
The director of the prosecution’s Criminal Investigations Unit (CTI). Alberto Acevedo, gave the CD a public heads up on Wednesday morning that a raid would take place in the afternoon.
