Inocencio Melendez, a lawyer for the Bogota Urban Development Institute (IDU) will be a key witness in the corruption case against suspended Mayor Samuel Moreno, according to the pre-agreement he signed with the prosecutor general.
The prosecutor general announced Monday that he made a deal with Melendez, and that the former lawyer for IDU will testify against former Mayor Moreno.
For his testimony, Inocencio Melendez will receive a less severe sentence for the corruption charges and connections to the public works scandal involving Bogota’s former mayor and his brother Ivan Moreno, a former senator.
“On July 26th we are going to present the pre-agreement with the requirements demanded by the law and on that day we will announce what will happen with Inocencio Melendez,” said the prosecutor general.
