It lasted less than a day. Many were individuals who had been in prison or had problems with alcohol and drugs. They were transported by a group of people who crossed the border from Russia on buses and urged them to occupy the building. Once they were inside, they turned towards Russia. There was Motorola [Arsen Pavlov, a Russian paramilitary leader who would later intervene in the war in Donbas]. Our investigation led us to talk to detainees, analyze the documents they had left when they retreated, and visit the places where they had stayed. The conclusion was indisputable, and my thesis is that the preparation for the occupation of Donbas did not begin in 2014, after the Maidan uprising [the popular uprising that led to the fleeing of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych], but much earlier, perhaps after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Close to a hundred Russians crossed the border dressed as civilians, as if they were tourists. They had no weapons. They went straight to Villa María. That is where they had left the uniforms and weapons with which they appeared on the streets of Sloviansk. The church employees were involved in the preparation, including a priest, who later became one of the leaders of the armed groups. #GuerraEnUcrania #Rusia #Donbás (translated)

Senator Enrique Gómez summarized the claims that, according to him, Eva Ferrer had made in an interview. He pointed out that Ferrer accused Verónica Alcocer of leading a network for trafficking drugs, weapons, and dollars that cooperated with the so-called "Italians" of Enrico Romagnoli, and of transporting 2.5 million dollars from Venezuela on an official plane. According to Gómez's summary, Ferrer asserted that Petro had benefited from that network through electoral support and logistics to organize demonstrations. He also mentioned the involvement of Manel Grau, Agmeth Escaf, Carolina Plata, and Mario Fernández Alcocer, cousin of Verónica Alcocer. Gómez added that Ferrer had spoken about the management of a supposed contribution of 50,000 euros from Papá Pitufo to Petro's presidential campaign in 2022, which Xavier Vendrell would have participated in. He claimed that the prosecutor in charge of the case had already indicated that there was interference from Petro's Government in favor of Papá Pitufo. He also noted that Ferrer mentioned the management of a contribution of at least 250,000 euros from Euclides Torres to the 2022 campaign. In the end, Gómez wondered if Petro had been, as Ferrer suggested, a puppet of Verónica Alcocer or if he was the head of the criminal gang. #Colombia #Política #Corrupción (translated)
