by Adriaan Alsema March 9, 2020
Journalists who revealed links between Colombia’s President Ivan Duque and drug traffickers said Saturday and Sunday that they are being illegally shadowed by authorities.
Journalist Gonzalo Guillen, who revealed that a murdered money launderer coordinated the rigging of the 2018 elections in the north of the country, revealed the identity of a prosecution official allegedly shadowing him.
The senior journalist additionally said sources close to the president told him that Duque and his political patron, former President Alvaro Uribe, employed intelligence agents to make “an organizational chart of the people they believed are giving me information.”
Julian Martinez, the journalist who reported that alleged vote-buying was coordinated by Uribe’s personal assistant, said his home was being watched.
