Prosecutor asks the Commission of Accusation to investigate President Gustavo Petro for the death of Kevin Acosta: Position of guarantor

The death of Kevin Acosta, a child with hemophilia who became a symbol of the severe healthcare crisis during President Gustavo Petro’s administration, has led to a legal dispute involving the president. The Fiscalía (Attorney General's Office) has requested the Commission of Accusations in the House of Representatives to investigate Petro for his potential role in the boy’s death, citing his 'position of guarantor' after ordering the intervention of Nueva EPS. The Fiscalía confirmed that it forwarded copies of documents to the commission as part of a complaint filed by victims’ representatives, led by former minister Wilson Ruiz, following the release of the child’s medical records. Petro’s government reportedly disclosed the clinical history of the minor through institutional channels without the victims’ authorization, which sparked controversy. Additionally, the government sought a court order to obtain the autopsy report conducted by Medicine Legal, but this was denied by a judge who emphasized the confidential nature of such evidence.
