Prosecutor general wants decision in Valencia Cossio case

Valencia Cossio was arrested in 2008 for allegedly having ties with drug lord Daniel “Don Mario” Rendon Herrera.

Valencia Cossio, the brother of former Interior and Justice Minister Fabio Valencia Cossio, is charged with conspiracy, suppression of public documents, disclosure of secrets, and use of secret matters for illicit enrichment.
