COThe Colombian Fiscalía (Attorney General's Office) has revealed that several politicians, including newly elected Senator Wadith Manzur, were involved in a corruption scheme linked to the misappropriation of over 14 billion pesos from the National System of Royalties. The investigation points to close ties between political leaders and the Association of Caribbean Municipalities (Aremca), which allegedly served as a channel for this financial misconduct. According to the Fiscalía, former legal representatives of Aremca facilitated payments of large commissions to political figures, including mayors, governors, and senators, connected to 101 contracts valued at 496 billion pesos intended for infrastructure, agricultural, environmental, technological, and food security projects across northern and eastern regions of Colombia. Evidence includes intercepted phone calls, witness testimony, and photographs showing Manzur interacting with Aremca officials. The probe suggests that Aremca’s activities had both economic and political motivations, with evidence indicating that the organization engaged in illegal activities alongside political support for Manzur dating back to his 2018竞选.
