‘Reyes’ files not manipulated: Govt

Colombia news - German Vargas

Colombia’s government stresses that evidence found on computers of slain FARC commander “Raul Reyes” was not manipulated, after the country’s Supreme Court dismissed evidence from the computers were illegally obtained and inadmissible in court cases.

Colombia’s government stressed Thursday that evidence found on computers of slain FARC commander “Raul Reyes” was not manipulated, after the country’s Supreme Court dismissed evidence from the computers were illegally obtained and inadmissible in court cases.

“The evidence is true and there has not been any manipulation of this information, but in Colombia something called the Procedural Code is applied, which is the way to collect evidence so that it can be used on trial,” said Interior and Justice Minister German Vargas Lleras, who denied that the chain of custody was broken when military officials seized the computers after a raid on Reyes’ camp in Ecuador.

While Vargas said the government “does not question the decisions of of justice,” he said “we believe there is information that we believe should be taken into account in future events.”

The dismissal of files found on the Reyes computers has great consequences of court cases against public figures who were accused of ties to the FARC.
