Wife of Colombias jailed anti-corruption chief met wife while defending drug trafficking charges: r
written by James Bargent July 5, 2017
Investigations into Colombia’s jailed anti-corruption chief have taken a new twist with the revelation that prosecutors are now re-examining his wive’s previously dismissed drug trafficking charges.
According to an investigation by newspaper El Tiempo, Carolina Rico, 31, was caught in possession of cocaine as she prepared to fly from Colombia to Paris in 2011.
Rico is the spouse of Luis Gustavo Moreno, the head of anti-corruption operations at the Prosecutor’s Office until his arrest on corruption charges in June.
Moreno, at the time working as a defense attorney, took charge of her defense and secured her release from El Buen Pastor Prison within a month after a court ruled there was no “reasonable inference” as to why she should remain incarcerated, El Tiempo reported.
