Colombia's defense minister personally handled murdered money launderer's repatriation: report
by Adriaan Alsema August 11, 2020
Colombia’s defense minister personally handled the repatriation of the body of the money launder who allegedly helped President Ivan Duque win the 2018 presidential election, La Nueva Prensa reported on Monday.
Two sources close to Jose Guillermo Hernandez, a.k.a “El Ñeñe, told the news website that Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo, was “key” in repatriating the late money launderer of the drug trafficking organization of Marquitos Figueroa from Brazil in three days when Trujilllo was foreign minister.
This process usually takes at least a month, Foreign Ministry sources told La Nueva Prensa.
However, “we were able to talk to the foreign minister and they helped us a lot from the beginning,” the cousin of El Ñeñe, Juan David Hernandez reportedly said.
This was confirmed by another source close to the money launderer who conspired with Duque’s far-right Democratic Center party to rig the 2018 elections.
