Colombia's war crimes tribunal accuses former chief prosecutor of fraud, concealing evidence
JEP president urges prosecution to "investigate any person" involved in conspiracy to extradite former FARC leader
by Adriaan Alsema March 7, 2023
Colombia’s war crimes tribunal JEP formally accused the former chief prosecutor of fraud and concealing evidence for trying to extradite a former FARC leader on drug charges that had been fabricated by US authorities.
In the criminal complaint, the JEP formally accused former Prosecutor General Nestor Humberto Martinez and former International Affairs director Ana Fabiola Castro of fraud and concealing evidence.
In a press conference, war crimes tribunal president Roberto Vidal additionally urged the prosecution to “investigate any person” in the prosecution who may have conspired with Martinez and Castro to extradite late FARC leader “Jesus Santrich.”
. . .
DEA agent Brian Witek testified under oath that he coordinated the operation to frame Santrich from the US “following the instructions” of “American law enforcement authorities.”
