Wiretapping Colombia's Supreme Court: the suspects and witnesses
by Adriaan Alsema January 13, 2020
Top members of Colombia’s military, the government of President Ivan Duque and his far-right party are implicated in Colombia’s biggest wiretapping scandal in more than a decade.
The last time the government was involved in a scandal of this magnitude, the country’s top intelligence chief and multiple presidential aides disappeared behind bars. The same could happen to the following suspects.
Former National Army chief Nicasio Martinez
The prime suspect who should expect to be called to trial by the Supreme Court is retired General Nicasio Martinez, Colombia’s former National Army chief.
Having spent 38 years in the army, his future now looks bleak as multiple army spies have accused him of ordering to set up the clandestine wiretapping operations and send information on magistrate Cristina Lombana to a “well-known politician” of President Ivan Duque’s far-right Democratic Center (CD) party.
