COThe Supreme Court of Justice has initiated an investigation into Gloria Arizabaleta, former representative of the Historical Pact coalition, over alleged charges including bribery, abuse of power, influence peddling, and disclosure of secrets. Arizabaleta, who was then president of the Accusations Committee in Congress, sought to provisionally suspend President Gustavo Petro due to an ongoing investigation against him for alleged political involvement. This unprecedented move aimed to remove Petro from office until the end of the second round of presidential elections. The measure led to Arizabaleta being placed under provisional suspension by the Prosecutor’s Office. Petro described the situation as 'extortion,' stating that Arizabaleta had requested things he refused to provide, despite her belonging to his same political coalition. Arizabaleta, a member of the Peace Force party, entered Congress in alliance with the Historical Pact. Petro requested that his ministers swear before the Court to explain what requests, according to him, were behind this accusation.
