Colombia expropriates real estate developed by VP's husband and 'drug kingpin'

by Adriaan Alsema September 15, 2021

Colombia’s victims fund received real estate that was developed by the husband of Vice-President Marta Lucia Ramirez and an alleged drug kingpin, the prosecution said Tuesday.

In a press statement, the prosecution said that the victims fund was given three offices and 20 parking lots located in the luxurious Torre 85 office complex in the capital Bogota.

The offices and parking lots belonged to “Memo Fantasma,” who allegedly began trafficking cocaine and laundering money with the Medellin Cartel in the 1980’s.

Fantasma, whose real name is Guillermo Leon Acevedo, was arrested in July in Bogota where the alleged mafia kingpin owned part of the office building that was developed by the company of Martinez’s husband Alvaro Rincon.
