Bogotá ombudsman investigated for alleged DMG bribe

by Adriaan Alsema March 16, 2009

Colombia news - Bogotá ombudsman

Colombia’s Inspector General started an investigation Monday into the
possible bribery of the ombudsman of Bogotá by suspected money
launderer DMG.

According to media reports last week, ombudsman Francisco Rojas Birry would have received money from DMG on at least one occasion.

In a phone conversation between two DMG executives, the order was given to deliver 200 million pesos (US$78 thousand) to the house of the ombudsman.

Rojas himself admits having known David
Murcia, but says he doesn’t understand why he is mentioned in
conversations about money transfers. “I don’t know what they’re talking
about,” he said after the publication of the article.
