'Parties' and 'prostitutes' at military prison base

Three army officers have been removed from their posts at the Tolemaida military base, following preliminary investigations into the alleged 'special treatment' of imprisoned officers and the escape attempt by former major Cesar Alonso Maldonado before his subsequent recapture Wednesday.

Rodriguez, who is thought to be the former head of security for narco-trafficker Diego Leon Montoya, alias "Don Diego," lived in a private hut apart from the other inmates where he could consume alcohol with the women who apparently "lodged" there, according to El Liberal.

The investigators are also seeking to establish who collaborated in the escape of Maldonado, which only lasted for twelve hours before a group of military and police were able to trace his cell phone and track him down.

Ex-congressman Wilson Borja, the leftist politician who Maldonado had attempted to assassinate in 2000, has expressed his skepticism over the supposed escape, labelling it a "publicity stunt." His comments are seemingly supported by the fact that Maldonado never escaped the military base and was eventually recaptured within the territorial limits.

Cesar Alonso Maldonado
From Colombian publication, Semana:Google translated:

The National Police captured this morning in Cúcuta to retired Army major César Alonso Maldonado, head of the attack that on 15 December 2000 was the then unionist Wilson Borja. In mid 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of the attack against the union, the right to consider the decision that was condemned by most Maldonado to 27 years and nine months in prison. Everything indicates that this officer received direct orders from the late paramilitary leader Carlos Castaño.

The Court ruling was a response to an appeal filed by the defense of the military. That legal form used to request the revocation of a sentence when it is considered incorrect.

On the morning of December 10, 2001, Bob left at 6 and 15 in the morning from home to the headquarters of the National Federation of Public Employees, of which he was president. He was accompanied by his two bodyguards. Suddenly, they were attacked by a gang of eight people traveling in cars and motorcycles, and they unleashed a flurry against the union. Mary died on the spot del Pilar Bolaños, a seller of red that was hit by bullets from one of the gunmen. In the crossfire was also killed one of the assailants, while Borja and one of his bodyguards were wounded.

On the floor was the cell phone of one of the gunmen and was vital to what justice would find later. In memory of the apparatus were recorded calls from Army Major César Alonso Maldonado, minutes before the shooting. Then he stated that he had been one of the attackers, then the orders of top commander of the paramilitary in Colombia, AUC.More:
