I have stated what I know: Sneyder Pinilla responds to allegations against magistrate Vladimir Fernández

The article discusses allegations against Magistrate Vladimir Fernández Andrade related to corruption within the National Risk Management Unit (UNGRD). On September 30, the Constitutional Court held a special session to evaluate these claims but did not mention Fernández by name, urging respect for the presumption of innocence of its members. Despite repeated mentions of Fernández in the case, no investigation has been launched against him. In response, former UNGRD subdirector Sneyder Pinilla, currently serving a five-year prison sentence for his involvement in the scandal, sent a letter to the Attorney General’s Office stating he provided all evidence, including cell phone records, conversations, photographs, chats, contracts, and documents. Pinilla claimed he only knows Fernández through a recommendation from Olmedo López, who was then the legal secretary of the Presidency. He stated that Fernández was recommended to advise his boss after an investigation by the National Audit Office. Pinilla reiterated that he provided information to both the Attorney General and the Supreme Court regarding payments made to then-Senate President Iván Name and House Representative Andrés Calle.

Pinilla destacó que entregó todos sus datos a la justicia y que su testimonio fue validado por jueces. Además, mencionó que la Corte Suprema confirmó que López ordenó entregar COP 4.000 millones a congresistas. La revista Cambio publicó los chats que generaron controversia, aunque Pinilla sostiene que estos mensajes fueron compartidos sin contexto.

Bias read (Progressive): El artículo presenta a Sneyder Pinilla como una figura que ha sido condenada por corrupción y ahora está siendo cuestionada nuevamente. Mientras que Pinilla niega los cargos y defiende su integridad, el texto enfatiza su pasado como parte del sistema corrupto y sugiere que hay presión para desviarla
