Prosecution wants Bogotá ombudsman detained: Caracol

Colombia’s Prosecution General is preparing an arrest warrant for
Bogotá’s ombudsman, who is alleged to have accepted money from
suspected money launderer DMG, Caracol Radio reported Thursday.

Official sources told the radio station that the anti-corruption unit of the prosecution found sufficient evidence against the ombudsman to indict him for illicit enrichment.

Ombudsman Francisco Rojas Birry is under investigation for allegedly receiving 200 million pesos (US$78 thousand) from DMG.
