The Colombian Prosecutor's Office announced disciplinary decisions regarding a 'vallenata' party held at the La Paz prison in Itagüí, Antioquia, in April 2026. The event allegedly involved the participation of artists Nelson Velásquez and Luis Alberto Posada, though some inmates denied organizing or funding it. Two Inpec guards admitted to failing in their duties by not recording the event in official logs. They accepted responsibility under a confession mechanism to potentially reduce their sanctions. The case now moves to judicial review within 45 days, with possible penalties ranging from suspension to dismissal. Authorities continue investigating additional responsibilities among staff and prisoners.
