Key suspect in 2018 election fraud scandal leaves Colombia day before investigations kick off
by Adriaan Alsema March 12, 2020
The former assistant of former President Alvaro Uribe reportedly left the country before she was called to testify on Thursday over her role in a conspiracy to rig the 2018 elections.
According to W Radio, Uribe’s former right hand, Maria Claudia Daza, left the country on Wednesday “to attend a family commitment.”
“She fled,” said opposition Senator Ivan Cepeda.
Daza, who allegedly coordinated vote-buying with an alleged drug money launderer, left the country a day before Congress’ Accusations Committee asked the prosecution to bar Daza and former Miss Colombia Maria Monica Urbina, the widow of late mafia figure Jose Guillermo Hernandez, from leaving the country.
The House of Representatives’ Accusations Committee is investigating President Ivan Duque‘s alleged involvement in the election fraud his mafia associate was coordinating with Daza while he was being wiretapped.
