by Adriaan Alsema November 26, 2018
Colombia’s prosecution announced on Sunday they have arrested the former rector of Barranquilla’s Autonomous Caribbean University in a cheap motel in Cartagena.
Former rector Ramses Vargas is accused of being the leader of a group of 10 suspects that allegedly robbed around $5 million from his university.
Vargas’ predecessor is already in prison after investigators found that the former burlesque dancer had teamed up with death squads to assassinate witnesses of corruption.

According to the prosecution, Vargas and his fellow-conspirators created a corruption network inside the university’s administration that allowed them to embezzle the funds made available for the rector’s discretionary spending.
