1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:06.480
In the WU The report of Colonel
the sport colonel today is worth more than

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.720
a billion pesos. Daniel, what' s this about? Good morning,

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.599
July. This is today' s
Colonel report. In the coming days,

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:22.079
Colombia will be notified of the adverse
outcome of an international tribunal of arbitration that

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:28.640
will bring with it the greatest monetary
condemnation in history. Colombian taxpayers will have

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:35.719
to pay three hundred million dollars more
than a billion pesos to the American citizen

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.960
Ángel Samuel Seda, and to his
partners in the Meditage real estate project,

8
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:47.200
which began to be built on land
with a difficult history on the outskirts of

9
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.359
Medellín. The lands on which the
luxurious urban development project began to be built

10
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:57.600
belonged to Iván López Banegas, a
member of the office in vigado. For

11
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.960
this reason, the Attorney General'
s Office began a process of extinction of

12
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.000
the fifty- five valuable hectares located
near the Las Palmas road toll in the

13
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:14.319
vicinity of Medellín, the same land
in which Seda and its partners had begun

14
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:22.400
to build a housing development. Luxury. The entanglements have multiplied because, moreover,

15
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.439
Mr Iván López assures that he did
not sell the lot of his own

16
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.920
volition, but was pressured by gun
by the office of en vigado to transfer

17
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.159
in the titles of the property.
Before arriving at Mr Seda' s hands,

18
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.920
people appear who cannot prove resources to
own such land and a name known

19
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:49.680
to the Colombian authorities of the United
States. It is the former drug trafficker

20
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.840
and for the military, Héctor Restrepo
Santa María, known with the alias of

21
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.000
Perra Loca. For all these reasons, the prosecution initiated the process of vins

22
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.799
of domination, but Mr Ceda claims
that he is a bona fide holder who

23
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:13.520
bought the land without knowing his background
and that the imposition of precautionary measures and

24
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:19.960
the extinction of the domain were an
indirect expropriation by judicial means, in addition

25
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:25.400
to an extortion operation against him.
Expropriation by judicial means violates the free trade

26
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:31.039
agreement between Colombia and the United States. For that reason and for alleged extortional

27
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.919
expressions, Mr Ceda convened an arbitration
tribunal for three hundred and ten million dollars

28
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:45.479
before the International Centre for Settlement of
Investment Disputes and the International Centre for Settlement

29
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.360
of Investment Disputes. The centre operates
in Washington, under the auspices of the

30
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.240
World Bank, and has heard the
arguments of the parties. This lawsuit is

31
00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:00.680
also the scene of the confrontation between
two of the largest and most expensive law

32
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.280
firms in the United States. One
of them Gibson down El, the p

33
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:12.039
represents Mr Ceda and his associates.
The other Gibes was hired by the Colombian

34
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.520
State' s National Legal Defense Agency. Seda argues that his property has been

35
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.240
pursued, but they have not applied
the same standard to neighboring lands that would

36
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:30.000
also be linked to the same alleged
drug trafficker. The Colombian State asserts that

37
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.759
there is evidence that another alleged member
of the mafia is financing the costly arbitramento

38
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:45.240
court against Colombia. This is Javier
García Rojas, Alias Maracullá. In a

39
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:52.120
telephone interception Alias Maracuya was recorded talking
about the financing of the extremely costly litigation.

40
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.879
Interception begins with lawyer Ruth Garcia,
sister of Aleas Maracuyá, who warns

41
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.960
the interlocutor to raise the voice so
that someone who calls the relative can flee

42
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:15.519
listen to courage to Oko joan Hi
Go I tell you already. I already

43
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:20.160
found here the b Johanni that the
family will listen to you by this voice

44
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:27.519
no one hard. Wo well,
sir there you listen to me next of

45
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.480
kin. According to the authorities,
Cesalis Maracullá talks about loans to defend himself

46
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:39.360
what apparently is the financing of the
multimillionaire lawsuit and includes the expression in quotation

47
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.079
marks. If we win, please, listen to him and ping him and

48
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.040
tell him what' s going on
with the blind Ngan who' s holding

49
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.560
back the little money. And there
goes a song, because I lend it

50
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.199
to you outside in front of the
profusion, I gave it to you about

51
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:02.040
the pofesiores. Put the clothes thing
down. Oh, everything' s not

52
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.439
right in the past. True,
the son did not tell me what the

53
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:12.240
good ok is like to see the
leo and the egg monkey, not or

54
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.439
not at all, but for other
things they are not what it is like

55
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:23.759
to see the rest of him and
the other is not tight. You'

56
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.399
re missing the problem in the long
run, and right now I' m

57
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.639
the same for her, yes,
winning when I can accept it. I

58
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.480
don' t want to read an
ass and you don' t understand.

59
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.279
I' m changing the rest.
I' m wasting my time on what

60
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:44.800
we all lend him and the National
State Legal Defense Agency is already playing.

61
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:50.480
Assured that she encountered great obstacles due
to misinformation from Ana Catalina Noguera, the

62
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:57.000
former delegate of the Attorney General'
s Office for criminal finances, I am

63
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.199
prosecuted for illegal interceptions and that she, Ana Catalina Noguera Impia, made known

64
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.560
in time the relationship between the American
investor Angel Seda and Alias Maracuyá. Colombia

65
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.519
' s hope is to demonstrate that
this funding of the lawsuit is part of

66
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.120
an asset- laundering operation. However, the Prosecutor' s Office has not

67
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:21.360
yet accused Javier García Roja Saleas Maracullá, Colombia, very surely will lose this

68
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.879
arbitral order, whose file was closed
on March 8. Ten days ago.

69
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.639
On Friday, March 15, the
Court of Arbitration requested the name of the

70
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.480
director of the State Legal Defense Agency
to include him in the notifications, which

71
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:43.319
points to the imminence of the ruling
most likely to occur this week. On

72
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.920
Friday afternoon, Dr John Camargo,
director in charge of the State Legal Defense

73
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:54.160
Agency, sent a request for the
Tribunal to allow him to include new evidence

74
00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:00.720
before the ruling. It does not
seem that the petition has much legal possibility

75
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:08.199
to succeed, because the file is
already closed, filing an appeal will cost

76
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.480
Colombia another two and a half million
dollars. That is the Tribunal' s

77
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.439
fee for reviewing its ruling, which
may end up costing Colombian taxpayers more than

78
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.319
a billion pesos. This was today' s colonel report. Thank you very

no You know who the Tribunal is. It' s not two. They

114
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.319
' re two Dutch referees and one
British. As far as I know the

115
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.560
name of one of them. Allow
me, Julio checked my notes here.

116
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.560
The name of one of them is
a, it is not of the Registrar

117
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:57.680
of the Tribunal, It is Miss
Marslrch March Daniel, I want to talk

118
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.000
to you about constituent frustration. Since
very early he has invited the listeners to

119
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.759
look for his column, which is
an eminently technical analysis of the route that

120
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.000
the call for a constituent National Assembly
makes. You can read it in Cambio

121
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.720
magazine, in the Paraguay of the
Daniels. It' s the first column

122
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.199
where you take a tour and we
picked up a recording of last year'

123
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:28.839
s President. In that recording,
the President himself says that the Constituent National

124
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:35.039
Assembly, your summons has to pass
through Congress and you start by saying in

125
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.519
your column President Petro that you did
not get the necessary votes in Congress,

126
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.440
where he already told us that you
have to go this idea to make a

127
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.279
health reform. Now he thinks he' ll get them to prove a call

128
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.080
for an assembly. Petro' s
proposal is not only unfeasible in political terms,

129
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.720
but it can overturn the two years
and four months remaining in office and

130
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:09.360
condemn Colombia to the return of a
revitalized extreme right. And then comes his

131
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.240
explanation of how many votes he would
need to get Congress on the street.

132
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.919
You clearly say that you would need
thirteen million, four hundred and thirty,

133
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.600
one thousand and six hundred and eighty- nine votes for the Presidency. He

134
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.960
achieved eleven million two hundred and ninety- one thousand nine hundred and eighty-

135
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.480
seven. Things are very different today. But, Daniel, this morning Alberto

136
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.519
said I do not rule out the
President using Assemblies, using the street,

137
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.960
but especially the street we did not
know, the street in abandoned Colombia.

138
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.240
But neither do the votes nor the
congressmen. You see, on the one

139
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.080
hand, that the President is out
of the debate and that he is going

140
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.279
to be armed. May yesterday happy
ended with this idea. I don'

141
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.840
t see that being politically or mathematically
possible July, but instead, I do

142
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.960
see it as a test balloon of
those who have used several Presidents of Colombia

143
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:20.840
in moments of despair, for example, the hyterocearic channel of then President Ernesto

144
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:28.000
San Perpisano, or the initiative of
then President Andrés Pastrana to revoke the term

145
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.519
of office of Congress, that we
say, set up a great discussion on

146
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.559
this and that did not end at
all. Since it doesn' t end

147
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.279
with any of this. The bad
thing about this matter for Petro is that

148
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.240
his proposal for a constituent is really
a factor of unity, but unity against

149
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.399
him can be joined center right and
some sectors of left, because that the

150
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.240
constituent does not sound good the story
of the smokescreens in Colombia tells it with

151
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:03.279
great grace in or Prosecutor Alfonso Gómez
Méndez, speaking of a fellow of his

152
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.679
of the two times President of the
United States of Colombia. Manuel Murillo Toro

153
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.360
and he calls him San Pedro,
he was not in Rome and it consists

154
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.240
in that, being Minister of Finance, Secretary of Finance, I believe that

155
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:28.919
he was called at the time he
needed to spend a free trade project in

156
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.600
Congress and to distract the attention,
he wrote in a conservative newspaper of the

157
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.480
time, to the Diario de Cundinamarca, an article claiming that Saint Peter had

158
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.120
never been in Rome. Well,
Troy was armed, the bishops spoke the

159
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.080
whole conservative stage, manifested themselves against
the heresy of Manuel Murillo Toro and in

160
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:54.279
the end the noise passed. He
was able to approve the free trade project

161
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.159
and published a small article, almost
a page in the same newspaper, saying

162
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.600
I was really defeated by St Peter
or was in Rome. I believe we

163
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.399
are in a similar case with this
constituent of President Petro San Pedro. Yes,

164
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.320
he was in Rome. Daniel
