La Silla VacíaIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 7514 days ago Ungrd: After completing her interrogation, Martha Peralta is releasedThe Colombian senator Martha Peralta was released after completing an investigation by the Supreme Court regarding her alleged involvement in the corruption case involving the National Risk Management Unit (UNGRD). The inquiry, which began last Thursday and lasted five days, concluded with her release while the Instruction Chamber of the Court determines her legal status. During the process, Peralta claimed she was detained because she was actively campaigning for Iván Cepeda in La Guajira and that authorities feared her influence ahead of the presidential elections. She had filed a habeas corpus petition, but it was denied by a family court judge who stated it did not function as a legal control mechanism or third instance. Peralta was previously linked to the UNGRD scandal through allegations of facilitating contract distribution in exchange for support for legislative reforms. The Supreme Court has accused her of improper influence and bribery.
