Arrest warrants issued for electoral fraud in northern Colombia

The Technical Investigation Team (CTI), the investigative branch of the Prosecutor General’s Office, issued 10 arrest warrants for electoral fraud in the 2010 election.

Authorities have already arrested six of 10 suspects involved in altering forms in the election for the House of Representatives, Caracol Radio reported.

According to CTI, the suspects are being charged with malfeasance by omission and alteration of election results to apparently favor candidates from the Cambio Radical Party and the Conservative Party.

The two affected municipalities are Magangue and Altos del Rosario in the northern department of Bolivar.
