The first-born son of the President of the Republic, Gustavo Petro, stated that he is in danger, after on the night of Sunday, March 3, on the television news Caracol Newswill reveal an investigation in which he is accused of having tried to legalize the money that he allegedly collected from questionable figures on the Caribbean Coast for his father’s campaign in 2022, through a security company with apparent criminal ties.
According to a witness, whose identity was protected in the aforementioned process, This is the company Lost Prevention, where Lilian Rodríguez appears as legal representative and which the Prosecutor’s Office suspects that Nicolás Petro Burgos used to try to ‘launder the money’ that he allegedly received. of Samuel Santander Lopesierra, the ‘Marlboro Man’, and the son of the controversial ‘Turco Hilsaca’.
“The relationship that exists between the company, that lady and (the president’s son) with the investigation is that through that company They are creating false documents, letters and records and everything they can so that (he) can justify the income and origin of the money that the ex-wife said she received. I know that they are signing promissory notes and that this money would be registered in the company as loans and contributions to campaigns,” said this source of the investigation.
That person added that because of this apparent support, They promised to facilitate contracting processes with the State.
To aggravate the issue, in Caracol News they established that Lost Prevention would have an alleged link with the Vega Daza clan that is accused of leading a mafia war in the last two years in Barranquilla (Atlántico) and that would have come to an end last week with the murder of the last of its members, Rodrigo Vega Daza, who was killed in Valencia (Spain) in a multiple crime.
The latter would have been saved from two previous attacks in Colombia, since he had weapons that were provided to them by that company. They even found that four more members of that family were members of the company and owned its weapons.
According to the report, Agreements have been signed for a sum exceeding 8,000 million pesos since 2022, both with the Government of La Guajira and the Mayor’s Office of Maicao. Although no kinship relationship is reported between the members of the society and the clan, in Caracol News They verified those links.
Besides, The Prosecutor’s Office has indications that the company was a supplier of war material to the Conquistadoras Self-Defense Forces of the Sierra, group descended from the extinct AUC and who are in a war to the death with the Clan del Golfo in La Guajira.
Given such a connection, Petro Burgos assured that nothing stated in the report was true and because of this new accusation he is now at greater risk.
“What @NoticiasCaracol has done is very dangerous, has put my life and that of my family in danger, all because of a false prosecutor’s informant(…) He didn’t even deign to verify the false informant’s information. (sic)”, he published on his official account on the social network X.
He assured that everything was so implausible that Not even the accusing body had been able to prove it within the investigation they were carrying out.
“The prosecution does not have a single document linking me to that security company, so much so that the The Prosecutor’s Office conducted interrogations and tapped telephone lines of people linked to that security company and found absolutely nothing that links me to it. (sic)”, he maintained.
Finally he stated that It was precisely because of a false informant that the prosecutor Mario Burgos initiated the aforementioned criminal process against him and ordered his capture, in July of last year, which reiterated that it occurred illegally.
