The Supreme Court of Justice convicted a former Democratic Center congressman

Tatiana Cabello Flórez, former member of Congress representing the Centro Democrático between 2014 and 2018, has been sentenced by Colombia’s Supreme Court to 12 years and one day in prison for continuous bribery (concusión). The court found that she regularly demanded a percentage of her collaborators’ salaries as a condition for their continued employment within her Legislative Work Unit (Unidad de Trabajo Legislativo). The sentence includes a fine equivalent to 500 minimum wages, a ban from holding public office for nearly 10 years, and an order to send copies of the ruling to prosecutors to investigate potential additional charges such as illicit enrichment, bribery, and threats. The court emphasized that Cabello committed these acts while fully aware of their illegality.
