Prosecutor General summons 11 politicians to testify in Yidispolitica case

by Adriaan Alsema October 21, 2008

Colombia’s Prosecutor General’s Office summoned eleven politicians to testify about the involvement of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe‘s chief of staff Bernardo Moreno and former deputy minister Hernando Angarita in the bribery of former congresswoman Yidis Medina.

Amongst those called by the Prosecutor General are former ministers Sabas Pretelt de la Vega and Carlos HolguĂ­n, the former director of Colombia’s intelligence service DAS and a former congressman.

The Attorney General wants to find out if Moreno had tried to obstruct the investigation into the former congresswoman’s change of vote in favor of a constitutional change needed to allow the 2006 re-election of current President Uribe.

Medina was sentenced to four and a half years house arrest after the Supreme Court found her guilty of having changed her vote for offered bribes.
