Friend of the president 15 years ago: former director of Aerocivil revealed the truth of how Gabriela Muñoz came to the entity

The controversy surrounding hiring practices at the Colombian Civil Aviation Authority (Aerocivil) continues to grow after Angie Rodríguez accused Gabriela Muñoz of having influence similar to Juliana Guerrero, who was previously linked to President Gustavo Petro. Recent revelations have highlighted the role of Muñoz’s mother, Liliana Olaya, in the process of her appointment. In an interview with Red+ Noticias, former Aerocivil director José Henry Pinto explained that Olaya presented herself as someone close to the national government and a friend of the president since around 15 years. He stated that she recommended both Gabriela Muñoz and her brother Santiago for employment. After reviewing their resumes, Pinto authorized them to start as assistants due to lacking academic and professional qualifications for higher positions. Both were hired into lower-level roles with monthly salaries between $2.4 million and $2.8 million. Pinto claimed he did not find evidence of conflicts of interest during his tenure.
