On the morning of February 27, Gustavo Petro denounced an intrusion of illegal groups in an education foundation run by his brother, in the municipality of Cajicá.

The senator showed his complaint through a post he made on his Twitter account, in which you can see images of what appears to be a virtually destroyed office. The chairs in the room were damaged, while a large number of books and documents can be seen all over the floor.

"Terrorist"
Now, along with the complaint of the disaster caused in the foundation of his family, Petro also showed a threat letter that would show that those involved in this fact are the 'Black Eagles Capital Block' , facade of several paramilitary groups, some members of the demobilized United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC).

In the letter, the 'Black Eagles' promise to end "terrorism" and the left "in Colombia , stating that Petro and his family are the main organizers and promoters of the " communist ideology " in the country.
