Colombia’s Supreme Court will open an investigation into Inspector General Alejandro Piedad Cordoba from public office for 18 years, reports El Espectador.
State Council President Luis Fernando Alvarez confirmed the ban on Thursday, adding that like any citizen Cordoba had the right to lodge an appeal.
Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez said Wednesday that Cordoba had urged guerrilla groups to be hostile to government officials, provided them with information she was not authorized to give, and had participated in events to promote the FARC.
Last week Cordoba said that she would reactivate talks with guerrilla groups and that the ruling on her ban from public office would not affect her mediation efforts.
