Inquiry into Miguel Uribe Turbay’s Murder Reveals Funds Linked to Venezuela
Presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Londoño recently shared details from the Attorney General’s office investigation into the murder of his son, Miguel Uribe Turbay, during an interview with La FM.
According to Uribe Londoño, the investigation has revealed that the funds used to pay the approximately eight individuals involved in the assassination of the senator and presidential pre-candidate originated in Venezuela. He clarified, however, that this financial link does not automatically identify the mastermind behind the crime.
Uribe Londoño stated that this connection to Venezuela is significant and could have implications for the venezuelan government. He emphasized the ongoing need to determine who within Colombia issued the order and who the intellectual author of the murder is.
The Attorney General’s Office investigation has already lead to the identification of those directly involved in the attack and the arrest of a suspect known as “El Viejo.” Authorities believe “El Viejo” is connected to the ‘Second Marquetalia‘ criminal group, operating under the leadership of Iván Mordisco.A Bogotá judge has ordered “El Viejo” to be held in custody, following his arrest in Puerto Lleras (Meta). He is accused of acting as a liaison between the individuals who planned the assassination and the criminal group that carried it out.
Uribe Londoño further asserted that the ‘Second Marquetalia’ operates from Venezuela and engages in criminal activity within the country, allegedly with the approval of both Gustavo Petro and Nicolás Maduro.
