Miguel Quintero, brother of Daniel Quintero, will be charged with corruption

The Colombian Attorney General's Office has announced that Miguel Quintero Calle, the brother of former Medellín mayor and current Health Superintendent Daniel Quintero Calle, will be indicted for alleged corruption. The indictment involves the mismanagement of contracts by the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley (AMVA) during Daniel Quintero’s tenure as mayor. The investigation suggests that public funds were diverted and economic commissions were allegedly paid for favors. Key figures implicated include Álvaro Alonso Villada García, Vanesa Álvarez Restrepo, and Sebastián de Jesús Ortega Durán. The case is linked to allegations against Misael Cadavid, former head of Itagüí Firefighters, who is accused of directing six contracts worth around 18 billion pesos between 2020 and 2022. Cadavid's campaign for the House of Representatives and his alleged distribution of funds to third parties, including Miguel Quintero, are central to the probe. The Attorney General has also approved a favorable plea deal for Juan Alberto Cardona Henao, the financial officer of the Itagüí Firefighters.
