Colombian President orders to investigate corruption case

Bogota, Aug 15 (Prensa Latina) President Gustavo Petro ordered Foreign Ministry to open investigations into a corruption case linked to Brazil's Odebrecht and one of Colombia's most important business groups.

Petro said he would “use all legal mechanisms of collaboration with the United States and Brazil to set up damages and reparations that the confession of the Aval group generates to the Colombian State”.

On Twitter, Petro pointed out that Brazilian citizens who “committed crimes in Colombia enjoy total impunity and Odebrecht has not paid a one single peso of the fines imposed in Colombia”.

In this regard, he also stated that “the contracts between Corficolombiana and the Colombian State must be reviewed, starting with the legal stability contract in light of Colombian law”.
