How the Venezuela debacle got Colombia's foreign minister sued and asked about narcos
by Adriaan Alsema September 13, 2019
Colombia’s foreign minister is in trouble over apparent narco support for Venezuela’s opposition and a conspiracy theory aimed to discredit Venezuela’s disputed President Nicolas Maduro.
The political crusade of Foreign Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo against Maduro derailed on Thursday and put the conservative dynasty politician in the defense.
The lawyer of one of the FARC‘s political leaders, “Rodrigo Granda,” said he would file criminal charges against Trujillo over unsubstantiated claims made during a meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) on Wednesday.
The NGO that revealed evidence supporting claims that Maduro’s rival received support from drug trafficking organization “Los Rastrojos” filed an information request demanding to know which government officials were involved in the operation to bring Juan Guaido to Colombia.
