‘Top Colombia radio host bribed to favor Medellin Cartel founder’

Julio Sanchez, one of Colombia’s most influential radio personalities, allegedly took bribes from the Ochoa crime family to favor an arrested Medellin Cartel founder, news website La Nueva Prensa revealed Sunday.
The website published parts of a testimony of late capo Alejandro Bernal, a.k.a. “Juvenal,” who claimed DEA agent Minh T. Nguyen warned him that Sanchez had been paid by the crime family to trick him into giving contradictory statements that would favor cartel boss Fabio Ochoa in court.
Sanchez is the director of W Radio and was recently embarrassed after conspiring with the attorney of former President Alvaro Uribe, who grew up with the Ochoas, to smear senior journalist Gonzalo Guillen, La Nueva Prensa’s editor in chief.
Juvenal was assassinated near Bogota in 2014, one month after his return to Colombia. Ochoa is still serving a 30-year prison sentence in the US.
