Contraloría aún no ha encontrado evidencia de supuesta extorsión al canciller Álvaro Leyva

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.599
At the WU, Colonel' s
report was extortion blackmail? Or was it

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:16.160
a self- extortion or a self- charging? This is the W Daniel

3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.359
what brings the report? Today,
good morning, July, this is the

4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:26.120
Colonel report. The Office of the
Comptroller General of the Republic found no evidence

5
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.159
of the alleged extortion of Foreign Minister
Alvaro Leiva or of the origin of the

6
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.679
funds with which they paid the blackmailer. The judicial police work carried out by

7
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:43.000
the Office of the Comptroller- General
of the Republic determined that they did not

8
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.159
leave the coffers of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. The thirty million pesos that

9
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:51.240
Foreign Minister Alvaro Leiva allegedly paid to
a person who extorted him, first to

10
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:57.399
give him evidence against Thomas Grachansons and
then not to tell him that he was

11
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:03.600
buying evidence from a blackmailer. The
colonel obtained exclusively the field report of the

12
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:10.560
judicial investigators of the Directorate of Information, Analysis and Immediate Reaction diari of the

13
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.599
Office of the Comptroller General of the
Republic. The judicial police officers spoke with

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.680
the computer of the expenditure of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Secretary General José

15
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.040
Antonio Salazar. He himself gave the
millionaire to tender the passports to Thomas Gregansons

16
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:33.879
less than forty- eight hours ago. According to the report I open Comillas,

17
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.359
Dr Salazar emphasizes in the interview that
he is not aware of the facts

18
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:45.040
and does not know whether payments were
made and much less than entities could have

19
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.519
made them. In addition, he
said and this is very important, which

20
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.040
can guarantee that in the chancellery,
no human or financial resources were used Sierra

21
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.200
quotation marks. From this hour on, you can see the report of the

22
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.359
judicial police presented to the director of
the newspaper by the people who carried out

23
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:07.000
the inquiries. The investigation of the
Comptroller' s office is due to the

24
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.120
statements of the suspended Foreign MinisterÁlvaro
le Iba, according to which he deposited

25
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.199
thirty million pesos in an account of
the banker and blackmailer against expenses reserved by

26
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:22.280
law. The expenses reserved are those
incurred for the financing of counterintelligence intelligence activities,

27
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:30.879
criminal investigation, protection of witnesses and
informants. Under the Intelligence Act,

28
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.319
such expenses could only be approved by
entities carrying out such intelligence activities and the

29
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:44.120
Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not one
of those entities. Dr Leiva says in

30
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.960
his statements that in the face of
extortion here I quote it immediately from the

31
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.879
transfer of all this to the Public
Prosecutor' s Office and the Government and

32
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.719
there came a moment in which State
intelligence participates and I, of course,

33
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.280
begin to develop everything. Which the
Attorney General' s Office is insinuating to

34
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.240
me in the spirit of establishing who
he was doing. That blackmail closes quotes.

35
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.879
However, two sources of the Office
of the Prosecutor contacted by the report

36
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.719
first assure that in such proceedings,
the Office of the Prosecutor does not insinuate,

37
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.120
but must take full control of the
investigation. And, secondly, these

38
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.840
sources deny Chancellor Leiva and claim that
it is not true that he had previously

39
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.879
consulted with the investigating lens about making
the deposit to the extortionist, but that

40
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.520
he went to the prosecution when he
had already done the payment. And here

41
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.719
the order of factors does alter the
product. It is one thing to pay

42
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.759
after asking permission, that is,
within a formal investigation, and another to

43
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.840
do it later and tell the prosecution. The assertion of these sources contradicts the

44
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.000
suspended Chancellor' s version, according
to which Aurocomillas has not been able to

45
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.919
take a single step without the knowledge
of the prosecution and the authorities not concerned.

46
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.280
So much for the date. This
morning, just over an hour ago,

47
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.960
I asked DrÁlvaro Leiva for Whatsapp
if that was true, if it

48
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.879
is true what the sources of the
prosecution say and from what reserved expenses the

49
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.279
payment was made to the extortionist.
So far, seven and twenty- one

50
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.720
in the morning, Dr Leiva hasn' t answered the message. This money

51
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.399
may have been withdrawn from the National
Intelligence Directorate or the National Police, but

52
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:36.480
not from those not previously known to
the Public Prosecutor' s Office. According

53
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:43.759
to sources consulted. I also tried
to consult with the two entities that handle

54
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.720
these intelligence and intelligence tasks, and
it is natural that it should be a

55
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.120
classified information, but none has confirmed
to me that that money has come out

56
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.800
of their coffers. The funny thing
is that I was going to affirm in

57
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.439
his statements quotes I have been a
servant of the State to the orders of

58
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:08.240
my superior. It would be naive
if he hadn' t brought this to

59
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.160
the attention of the prosecution. It
was a state mission so far the chancellor

60
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.560
' s appointment and so far today' s colonel report. Thank you very

61
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.160
much, Daniel. I want to
change, so very serious. I hope

62
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.160
the doctor will be able to answer, and we' ll be here to

63
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.839
hear your explanation. Daniel, how
do you think I was watching a univision

64
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:40.279
program called here and now and I
ran into the file that happened this weekend

65
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:48.519
and there I found a fascinating interview
from the archive. A univision journalist interviewed

66
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.000
one of Griselda' s characters,
a man she has, in prison.

67
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:01.040
I don' t know how many
you get out of life that you admit

68
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:10.759
you killed, I don' t
know how many, but besides, you

69
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.199
recognize that in your free time you
had some love affairs with the boss,

70
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:15.199
but that he didn' t want
that relationship to go any further than that.

71
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.839
Just loving encounters, but that his
work, he did it professionally hitchhiker.

72
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.600
Who is that character, that interview, what a story he has something

73
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.000
exciting. Daniel is exciting everything related
to the biography of Griselda Blanco is and

74
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:44.360
well, this is a work he
has been in for several months. Journalist

75
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.480
Tifany Roberts of the program here and
now, and it was about rebuilding the

76
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:57.639
procedures of Griselda Blanco a little bit, plus the customs. You know,

77
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:04.680
Julio, he' s not the
only bodyguard we say he had a loving

78
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:14.519
relationship with her and one of them, his last husband, Darío Sepúlveda,

79
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.480
also started as her hit man and
he' s Michael Corleone' s dad.

80
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.279
White, the person we talked to
a few days ago here in the

81
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:29.160
dolu. Daniel, this gentleman was
obviously interviewed by Tifany. I don'

82
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:35.879
t know how long ago, as
we say years ago, because there are

83
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:43.040
two characters. One is Riverita and
the other is this Back Guard, and

84
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.399
I understand that there was an interview
years ago that I think was with Riverita

85
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:55.920
and another current with this person who
had had the love relationship with Griselda Blanco.

86
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.759
Very interesting. You can look it
up in the NDA univision file here

87
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.199
and now, Daniel. Thank you. This was Colonel Liva' s report.

88
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.040
We' re in order.
