Colombia’s Head of Arrests himself arrested for extortion
posted by Alice Bradshaw-Smith
One of Colombia’s top prosecution chiefs was arrested on Tuesday after the official had been accused of extorting a dozen people, demanding money for their release or threatening with criminal investigations.
The Head of Arrests for the Technical Investigation Unit (CTI) of Colombia’s public prosecution, John Walter Osorio, was detained in Bogota by a joint team of the police and his own colleagues from the Prosecutor General’s Office.
According to the investigation, Osorio threatened his victims by telling them that if they paid amounts ranging from $6,000 to $12,500, he would not enforce arrest warrants held against them, or initiate criminal proceedings.
The police caught Osorio red-handed in a Bogota shopping center, where the official was at the time collecting $12,500 from a psychologist who had been his latest target.
