I hope they call him to the stand: late Odebrecht witness about Colombia's chief prosecutor
by Adriaan Alsema November 26, 2018
The late key witness in the Odebrecht scandal told the country’s industry watchdog that he hoped the chief prosecutor would be called to trial for corruption.
Jorge Enrique Pizano, the former auditor of the “Ruta del Sol II” project who blew the whistle on the Brazilians’ bribery practices, told investigators in August that “I hope they call [Prosecutor General] Nestor Humberto Martinez to the stand,” Noticias Caracol revealed on Sunday.
Pizano died earlier this month after which media began revealing conversations that proved Martinez knew about the Brazilians’ bribery practices a year before taking office in 2016.
Despite calls to separate the disgraced Prosecutor General and his office from the Odebrecht investigation, prosecution officials seized Pizano’s computers that contain the incriminating evidence over the weekend, according to Noticias Uno.
