Colombia's former commercial attache in Russia a narco accountant?
by Adriaan Alsema March 16, 2020
Colombia’s former commercial attache in Russia was allegedly doing the accounting of a late drug money launderer while he was investigated for murder.
The alleged money launderer of drug trafficker Marquitos Figueroa, Jose Guillermo Hernandez, told the personal assistant of former President Alvaro Uribe, a former Medellin Cartel associate, that diplomat Adriana Castro was “a genius.”
Castro was allegedly doing the finances of Hernandez while the police were wiretapping him as part of a homicide investigation and two years after prosecutors accused him of laundering drug money.
. . .
Uribe, Duque and their far-right Democratic Center were already investigated for conspiring with Figuroa’s drug trafficking organization to rig the 2018 presidential election in the president’s favor.
