Drug money launderer invited to Colombia's congress?
by Adriaan Alsema March 26, 2020
A late drug money launderer who plotted to rig Colombia’s 2018 elections in favor of President Ivan Duque was invited to congress, an opposition lawmaker said Wednesday.
According to House Representative Fabian Diaz (Green Party), he found the name of Jose Guillermo Hernandez, a.k.a. “El Ñeñe,” in Congress’ invitation records.

The Supreme Court is investigation Duque’s political patron, former President Alvaro Uribe, because he allegedly ordered his personal assistant to coordinate vote-buying with the late narco.
Uribe’s former assistant, Mauria Claudia Daza, resigned last month after transcripts and wiretaps emerged of her discussing moving funds from a company to companies in the Caribbean region, presumably for vote-buying.
