Mafia planning to assassinate journalists who revealed ties between narco and Colombias ruling party
by Adriaan Alsema March 21, 2020
Colombias mafia is allegedly planning the assassination of three journalists who revealed that the countrys ruling elite conspired with narcos to rig the 2018 elections in favor of President Ivan Duque.
Press freedom foundation FLIP sent out an alert after a senator shared evidence that members of criminal organizations met on Saturday last week to plot the assassination of journalists Gonzalo Guillen, Daniel Mendoza and Diana Lopez.
The audio additionally revealed a plot to assassinate Beto Coral, a popular pundit on Twitter who has frequently clashed with Uribe over evidence the former president has been in bed with the mafia since the 1980s.

Despite the imminent threat of assassination, the National Protection Unit (UNP) has refused to provide protection to the journalists who published the evidence of Duques far-right Democratic Center partys ties to the organization of jailed drug trafficker Marquitos Figueroa.
