A Colombian influencer has pleaded not guilty after being accused of helping her mum escape prison using a rope and a motorcycle.
Aída Victoria Merlano, who has 2.5 million followers on Instagram, was charged in February 2020 for being ‘instrumental’ in the escape of her mother, former Colombian senator Aída Merlano Rebolledo.
Rebolledo became a senator at the age of 38, but shortly after her 2019 election win authorities uncovered campaign irregularities and evidence of voter fraud, corruption and illegal possession of weapons.
Within six months of her election, Rebolledo was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, but she managed to escape just two weeks later after seizing the opportunity while at a dentist’s appointment.
According to trial evidence cited by Vice, Rebolledo was accompanied to the dentist by a prison guard and driver but was allowed to enter the examination room alone. When the dentist left her alone, Rebolledo reportedly tied a rope to the table and escaped through a window.

If there were a list of ways to show your mother how much you truly love her, busting her out of prison would certainly be near the top. That’s exactly what influencer Aída Victoria Merlano Manzanero went on trial for this week.
Prosecutors said the 21-year-old played a crucial role in helping her mother, a former Colombian senator, climb out of a third-story window and descend by rope to the street in full view of astonished bystanders.
. . .
Aída Victoria’s mother, Aída Merlano Rebolledo, bolted custody just weeks after being convicted for election crimes in a daring escape that captured the attention of the South American nation.
Her downfall came after a rapid political rise, becoming a senator at the age of only 38. But following her 2019 election win, authorities quickly found campaign irregularities and discovered evidence of voter fraud, corruption, and illegal possession of weapons. Within six months of her victory, the senator was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in a Bogota prison. She escaped just over two weeks later.
