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)
