00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:07.559
At the WU, Colonel Daniel'
s report. We are now going to
2
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:13.839
the National Protection Unit because Daniel Julio, well, good morning and this is
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.440
the Colonel report. You know the
National Protection Unit has been dragging suspicions of
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:24.760
corruption. For years. The institution
that conducts security studies, assigns armed carlos
5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.719
and bodyguards to threatened persons, has
been questioned for favoring corrupt recruitment practices and
6
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:39.960
also because UNP vehicles have been used
in drug trafficking operations. The struggle for
7
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.640
the depuration of ONP has been a
concern of the current director, Augusto RodrÃguez.
8
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.479
He himself has denounced that criminal practices
persist in the entity. One of
9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.159
the most frequent cases occurred in the
year two thousand twenty- two, a
10
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.439
UNP truck was searched by the police
in the camp. In the inspection they
11
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.400
found one hundred and sixty- eight
packages of cocaine, of which they call
12
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.840
panels. They even say they were
many more, but the cops who did
13
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.519
the operation or some of them took
a piece of the drug. At the
14
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.599
wheel of that truck was Manuel Antonio
Castañeda, a former national police deputy who
15
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.719
from that moment began to be called
the narco chauffeur. The truck loaded with
16
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.359
cocaine was assigned to the security scheme
of the former deputy director of the good
17
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.400
EP Ronald RodrÃguez, a former DAS
agent who went from protector protected by those
18
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
rare things that happen in that entity. He' s a civil servant.
19
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.400
I' m sure he had lent
the truck to the narco driver in good
20
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.239
faith, as if someone could lend
something that wasn' t his own,
21
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.040
but from the state or hired by
the state to provide protection and not to
22
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.159
do favors, even if they were
legal that they weren' t. Anyway,
23
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.519
the Cauca episode was the first in
a series of events that allegedly involve
24
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:06.200
in this network of corruption the president
of one of the unions of the np
25
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.000
named Wilson, Debia, about which
Mr Castañeda, the so- called narco
26
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:17.159
driver, declared and claims to have
compromising audios and photographs. But that'
27
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.159
s not all. Mr Castañeda,
the narco- driver, also confessed that
28
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.599
he participated in the escape plan of
drug lord Juan Larison Castro, alias Matamba,
29
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.039
who escaped from the pillory disguised as
a guardian, said that in the
30
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.000
plan to favor the escape of Matamba, in addition to members of the Gulf
31
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.199
Clan mafia, national police officers participated, including Captain Luis Eduardo Duque Casas,
32
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:53.080
who was captured. According to his
version, narco Chofer also mentioned other senior
33
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.439
officers, including generals, but the
prosecution did not want to hear about this.
34
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.000
The prosecution denied him last week at
the beginning of the opportunity by darco
35
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.840
driver saying that the information he has
delivered is not enough to hit. Criminal
36
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:19.520
organizations technically declare it. That principle
of opportunity had been suspended and they were
37
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.560
prepared to re- evaluate it.
If Mr Castañeda delivers more information at this
38
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.840
time from his place of detention,
he communicates with us. Manuel Antonio Castañeda,
39
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.520
nicknamed the narco chauffeur, Mr Castañeda. Good morning, well, good
40
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.159
morning to all, Mr Castañeda,
to what do you attribute the decision of
41
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.680
the Taxation not to grant you the
principle of opportunity? Well, Daniel,
42
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.240
really, because for everyone as well
as for me as the proxy, it
43
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.960
was really something surprising, because,
then, we did not expect a decision
44
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.960
of those, since since August,
on 10 August last year, the issue
45
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.560
was traced to the beginning of opportunity
and on 3 December last year they manifest
46
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:10.280
by a writing the evolution of the
principle of opportunity had passed through the case
47
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.919
to the fourth and fifth and according
to the prosecution. This development is being
48
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.519
made because, therefore, insufficient information
has been provided to dismantle criminal gangs,
49
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.639
which is therefore a matter of concern. Daniel, because, well, I
50
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.600
' ve given a lot of information. Apart from the arrests that have been
51
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.439
made, I have delivered concrete things
that are quite important and relevant in which
52
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:38.000
there are high- ranking national police
personnel that we are talking about in the
53
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.720
Matamo case, we are talking about
corruption, good EP and other factors of
54
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:49.800
criminal acts. Mr Castañeda, we
are going through parts which people with their
55
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:57.800
own names are involved in corrupt behaviors
in the national protection unit. We were
56
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:03.000
interrupted by your call. You know
that Mr Castañeda is in prison, he
57
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:10.040
' s calling with permission from the
prison authorities from a prison phone and we
58
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.519
' ll see at any moment we' ll return this call. But it
59
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.360
is supremely important because this man,
who says that he says a committee of
60
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:27.120
the Public Prosecutor' s Office that
is collaborating enough, delivered a report of
61
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.279
eighty- four pages in which he
gives in detail information, recordings, photographs.
62
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.000
Finally, we asked you, Mr
Castañeda, which people with their own
63
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:43.360
names are involved in corrupt behaviors in
the National Protection Unit, as we have
64
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.160
the case of trade unionist Wilson Devia. There' s the issue of Ronald
65
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.279
Rodriguez, because he' s already
captured. We have certain escorts from the
66
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:59.439
unit as is Juan Pablo RodrÃguez Ortiz, who he was at the time,
67
00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.360
because or I don' t know
if he still does it to Wilson Devia,
68
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.720
who was the person who linked me
to Wilson de Vida for the issue
69
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:14.040
of renting schemes, and we have
other people who are still linked in favor
70
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.680
of criminal gangs. They went to
work in the national protection unit, as
71
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:27.879
Mr How ere Onis said there was
Alexander, sir How was the scheme of
72
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:35.839
the operation of the scheme rental system
at the UNP initially, because I know
73
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:42.600
that Wilson of life through. Juan
Pablo Ortiz, who is the escort of
74
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.839
the unit that relates me to the
i, presents me as the president of
75
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.759
the unions of the EP Bun.
That was a meeting that took place in
76
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:55.199
Ayuelo near his house to his apartment. And so, because of some threats
77
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.079
that I had for a person who
is also captured, who calls himself the
78
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.920
Mexican alias, I' m a
forty of target squares, because I have
79
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.759
some threats and because of that,
because I' m looking for an implementation
80
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.279
of a security scheme. But since
I do not meet the requirements, because
81
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.240
Juan Pablo makes me the bridge with
Wilson Devia and this person manifests that he
82
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.959
has the power, since he is
president of the unions, to be able
83
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.160
to help me to assign a protection
scheme initially, because he starts by charging
84
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.720
200 million pesos for the allocation of
a scheme that was a armored van and
85
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.959
two units of protection of the good
EP with his armament and a fuel quota
86
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:39.079
that they give according to the vehicles
like this factor, because it was too
87
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.839
then reached a subsequent agreement of a
monthly rent that was seven million pesos,
88
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.360
that was the initial treatment that we
started with Wilson Debia and Juan Pablo Ortiz
89
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.920
and the other members of the scheme. At that time, Mr Casteñada,
90
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.879
how you pay those seven million pesos
and what concrete evidence you have about the
91
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.560
alleged crimes of the president of or
the trade unions of ONP, Wilson Dévil.
92
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.279
These payments were initially made always the
intermediary has been Juan Pablo Ortiz.
93
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.399
The money was given to John Paul
and in his absence, some appropriations were
94
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.439
made to the same account the house
of Wilson Devia and others were made in
95
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.600
the name of the wife of o. The husband, the sentimental couple of
96
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:33.320
Juan Pablo Ortiz. You, in
addition to this corruption, UNP has revealed
97
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.799
that Mr Debia was involved in road
piracy robberies and that products of those robberies
98
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.840
were stored and that you have proof
of how they moved the proceeds of those
99
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.840
robberies. How so, Mr Castaña, these evidences are in the hands of
100
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.320
the prosecution. We are talking about
the fact that after the two thousand and
101
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.840
nineteen that is, the subject of
the rental of this scheme came to fruition,
102
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.200
since a trust was already generated and
I was fined as a stronger friendship
103
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.360
with Debia. And there was already
confidence in certain criminal activities. I'
104
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.879
m cool like that. And Wilson, because already as there was more confidence,
105
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.080
as I just said, he had
his companions of zt and that they
106
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.440
had been previously the das himself may
manifest that he could use his companions to
107
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.759
make false raids and even a merchandise
that was smuggled that had been stolen.
108
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.919
It is kept in his apartment in
model, in not even in his apartment,
109
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.879
in that of his wife, Marisol
Tontes. Of that, there was
110
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.240
evidence, photographs, and we are
waiting for the same prosecution to advance in
111
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.960
that, because at the moment there
has not even been any progress in an
112
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:50.639
interrogation regarding that. Well, let' s go now to the matam case
113
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.639
in addition to Captain Luis Eduardo Duque. What are the officers of the national
114
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.600
police involved in the escape of this
capo, because the case of the Tamba
115
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.440
we have concerning the captures, which
is of alias. The horseman Edgar Molevar
116
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.080
is bird alias bird is indeed the
captain and there are other catches, as
117
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.360
they surprise one who have not been
made as they are initially, as the
118
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.679
driver of the same captain who participated
driving the official vehicle on the day of
119
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.960
the escape. We have some evidence
that was given to the same prosecution for
120
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.480
some activities that they put me to
do They literally used me the same police
121
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.360
and the same prosecution When the same
idea was brought to the attention of this
122
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.279
whole situation, they put me to
do certain activities I called to infiltrate their
123
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.080
gang and get more information out of
those who had participated in the escape.
124
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.399
There are audios of an hour almost
two hours approximately that some recordings were made
125
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.360
and there we are talking about too
many people from the same police, as
126
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.879
are Lieutenant Colonel Telles, who is
the current commander of Gaula Bogotá. Yes,
127
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.679
some Colonels are also mentioned that at
the time it was General Morillo who
128
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.879
was the director of the Digin,
that they talk about some criminal acts they
129
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:16.240
committed with them in Ibabia and when
he was Commander Iwague. We are talking
130
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.799
about the General of the Dijin,
that Londoño Portela, who was also director
131
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.840
and that, according to Edgar Monlevar, because they passed money quotas to him
132
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.320
for certain elective activities that they did
in the same audios. It is referenced
133
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:37.639
to that which was exactly, for
example, the participation of Colonel Carlos Eduardo
134
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.120
Telles, who remains the Gaula commander
of the police in Bogotá in that escape.
135
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.159
According to the evidence that you have, because according to what he says
136
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.639
the same captain houses in the audio, because the colonel was the one who
137
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.039
gave viability to him in order to
be able to grant the subject of the
138
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.480
vehicle with a Marshal l n Ons
plan, as he said of his marchal
139
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.000
plans Son as to justify the displacements
from one municipality to another or department to
140
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.039
another. And that was the colonel' s participation as such to justify and
141
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.799
back the captain in that displacement.
But who was watching for everything that night,
142
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.600
because he was the captain, but
he was supported by Colonel Tellis.
143
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.679
Well, you just appointed a retired
general who held a very high office.
144
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.080
He was director of the origin of
General Fernando Murillo and now I think he
145
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.480
' s going to be the security
adviser of fede won, or is he
146
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.559
already the security adviser of sedegante?
What was the participation that you knew that
147
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:46.559
this High Officer had, presumably the
Crime Commission, because here very, very
148
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.440
rare things happened in that when they
are made aware of the idea of the
149
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.240
facts and later to the Fica,
the prosecutor Juan Pablo Fajardo Lanza becomes aware
150
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.879
and how there is a special group
of the let who works with her at
151
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.919
that time for the recapture of Matamba. I' m being interviewed by General
152
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.120
Murillo. It is supposed that for
a matter of transparency and the General in
153
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.360
turn assigns me a colonel of anti- narcotics so that, supposedly, the
154
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.840
information or what I am going to
say does not leak. It turns out
155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.840
that among those acts that they put
me to follow up and coordinated activities with
156
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.879
themselves. In those recordings that I
collect, I made Edgar himself and the
157
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.000
same captain in the audios. In
the recordings, they say that when he
158
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.600
was a colonel, he had an
attack or something, that, for the
159
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.720
same reason, he had his artificial
intestines and that Colonel Murillo was the one
160
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.039
who gave them the free way to
commit thefts on the cigarette tracks, that
161
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.320
that was a very good business,
that they provided them with more than the
162
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.279
same drug. There they refer to
Colonel Murillo, who at the time,
163
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.639
since he was already general and director
of the AU, I said and what
164
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:11.799
is the participation of General Londoño Portela
in these alleged illegals, even exactly as
165
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.320
the general had been director of the
Digin Londoño Portela that even in the same
166
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.519
audio I say to Edgar lego himself
and consciences of life, because when I
167
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.159
was a police officer, he was
literally my godfather what is called the interior
168
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.879
of the institutions. Then he tells
me to see the coincidences of life.
169
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.200
I didn' t know he was
part of the organization. Let' s
170
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.960
call it that because they gave him
quotas for clearing certain warrants within this organization
171
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:46.639
that they had. That' s
basically like the function created by General Londoño
172
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.840
Portelan said by Edgar Molevar himself.
Good for the various cases that cross yours.
173
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.120
You have understood yourself with several prosecutors. A moment ago he spoke,
174
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.159
for example, of the mention of
a prosecutor named Juan Pablo Fajardo Lanza,
175
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:11.399
who is in charge of investigating the
escape of matamba. What happened when the
176
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.279
names of important police officers and members
of the Prosecutor' s Office of Valle
177
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.559
del Cauca allegedly involved in corruption cases
began to float. It turns out that
178
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.720
initially, because they take me to
the bunker, supposedly for safety so that
179
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.639
they don' t leak and don' t see that I' m the
180
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.159
formal source in the case of the
matamba escape. Initially, because I inform
181
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279
this prosecutor of all the facts that
are happening, and I even inform him
182
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.759
of the people who own the merchandise
for which they captured me nothing. I
183
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.519
mean cocaine, I mention it,
I provide you with some supports, evidence
184
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.879
of photographs of criminal acts being made. But this prosecutor, because somehow he
185
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.679
tells me that we do not focus
on the issue of drug trafficking, but
186
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.960
on the issue of the escape of
matamba, because, because those are things
187
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.759
that are going to hurt me and
that I am going to pack up more
188
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.679
on that issue. So that we
do not refer to these people and leave
189
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.120
them isolated and focus more on the
issue of escape, which is something that
190
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.279
you are curious about at the moment, because, because all the cases that
191
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.559
we have been hearing within the prosecution
are similar that in a certain way,
192
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.240
because it is as if the prosecution
wanted certain gangs not to be dismantled because
193
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.799
they have some interests within the same
entity. Let' s be clear,
194
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:41.279
Mr Castañeda, you received the insinuation, the instruction veiled from shutting up when
195
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.759
you named important people from the prosecution. Of course, sir, and there
196
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.440
' s the weirdest thing about that
moment is that that very day I give
197
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.080
the statements in the bunker to this
prosecutor in the morning, on the same
198
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:59.360
evening, the owners of the merchandise, calling specifically a person named Luis Carlos
199
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.279
or who is told in the middle
that they know each other and how we
200
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.519
moved the monkey. This person quotes
me outside Bogotá, because, without knowing
201
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:14.319
myself, what this date was for. But or surprise that when I came
202
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.599
to the bomb in the company of
my cousin, Rafael Velandia, who was
203
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.559
also captured in drug trafficking issues in
an episode Pereira, because he was already
204
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:29.839
there and there was this person named
Luis Carlos, he was there in the
205
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.559
bomb with a vehicle when I arrived, because obviously I noticed as a different
206
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.319
reaction from them towards me. And
yet, they make me ride a vehicle,
207
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.319
a toyota. There is light and
inside that toyota is a person to
208
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:47.119
whom we mention as JJ, who
is obviously already fully identified with the prosecution
209
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:55.799
and have given up his supports.
And this person had a copy of the
210
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.759
D A' s folder of what
I had said, of the testimonies I
211
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.279
had given the Hollywood reaction and,
in fact, that same day, that
212
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.599
same day, exactly if Daniel,
then this person takes my folder. I
213
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.519
basically, because that was true,
that was my signature and obviously, that
214
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.759
was what I was saying and where
I was mentioning them. But this person,
215
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.279
then, tells me how it is
possible that I am going to miss
216
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:25.759
them that one thing is that I
sell to the subject of the people who
217
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.200
participated in the escape from Matamba,
but how I will sell them is to
218
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.599
them that they are untouchable. So, then, my reaction at that time,
219
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.400
because I feared for my life,
was, obviously, to refuse and
220
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.839
deny myself in the face of this
situation that it was not and that it
221
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.519
was not my firm and that it
was false. Yes, I have to
222
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.839
clarify Daniel that for this there are
supports and there is evidence of everything I
223
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.119
am saying that they bear that this
is true, because, because, as
224
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.960
many have said, I am supposedly
a liar of all the testimonies I have
225
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.039
given and all the things I have
contributed. Then I want to clarify that
226
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.039
there are supports, my reactions,
well, obviously, among all that topic
227
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.559
that happened Daniel, because specifically,
because they let me go, but literally
228
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.680
and diplomatically they make me a threat, that quiet, that nothing is going
229
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.839
to happen, that I take the
route to my house, that nothing is
230
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.880
going to happen. Because they don' t want to attack my family,
231
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.000
so they won' t do anything. Of that, obviously, they are
232
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.119
untouchable. I don' t know
why they said it, if it was
233
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.359
because of the fact that the prosecution
itself, because it was covering them up,
234
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.680
is covering them up. Then,
as I was coming, obviously,
235
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.640
in coordination with General Murillo, I
informed General Murillo that very night that it
236
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.960
was not going to be more acts
of intelligence call and I was cool.
237
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.559
So, because it was literally what
I had to do, because for them
238
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.559
more members will arrive on the subject
of the matamba escape. It was because
239
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.519
of all the activities that they put
me to do without me having a legal
240
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.960
support in which I would rely to
do all these things. Mr Castañeda,
241
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:03.920
within the officials who appeared at that
time there are people you understood close to
242
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.680
the current Attorney General in charge of
Marta Mancera. You can repeat it to
243
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:14.480
me in what a pity. Within
the persons of the Prosecutor' s Office
244
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.359
that you mentioned or whose names came
out in the course of these leaderships and
245
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:26.640
from whom you received the insinuation of
not speaking, there are people close to
246
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.960
the current Attorney General of the Nation
Marta Mancera, because we have a topic
247
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.200
and that is the prosecutor of the
Pereira case, of drug trafficking of my
248
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:40.599
cousin, that is the prosecutor Jaime
Ocampo, who I also heard through the
249
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:45.240
media, that it is related to
a subject of Dr Mancera, in the
250
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.559
case of good fortune, of the
issue of cabaca. I don' t
251
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.400
know how close they are, or
if they have some differences, but I
252
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.960
also understand that the prosecutor Juan Pablo
Fajardo, because he is close to them
253
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.480
and there is a public prosecutor named
Troche, who was the prosecutor who initialized
254
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.079
in the rapprochements with the prosecution,
hinted that everything that was happening had been
255
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.200
the fault of the same dea no
more of them. Well, thank you
256
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.519
very much to Mr Manuel Antonio Castañeda
for the information that this man named the
257
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.359
narco chauffeur has, must be seriously
evaluated by the justice system. What he
258
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:26.960
says must be demonstrated or denied within
a serious, independent investigation and not invited
259
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.599
to keep some silences and then deny
him the primacy of opportunity. This was
260
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.559
Colonel' s report today. Thank
you very much.
1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:07.559
At the WU, Colonel Daniel'
s report. We are now going to
2
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:13.839
the National Protection Unit because Daniel Julio, well, good morning and this is
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.440
the Colonel report. You know the
National Protection Unit has been dragging suspicions of
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:24.760
corruption. For years. The institution
that conducts security studies, assigns armed carlos
5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.719
and bodyguards to threatened persons, has
been questioned for favoring corrupt recruitment practices and
6
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:39.960
also because UNP vehicles have been used
in drug trafficking operations. The struggle for
7
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.640
the depuration of ONP has been a
concern of the current director, Augusto RodrÃguez.
8
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.479
He himself has denounced that criminal practices
persist in the entity. One of
9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.159
the most frequent cases occurred in the
year two thousand twenty- two, a
10
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.439
UNP truck was searched by the police
in the camp. In the inspection they
11
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.400
found one hundred and sixty- eight
packages of cocaine, of which they call
12
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.840
panels. They even say they were
many more, but the cops who did
13
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.519
the operation or some of them took
a piece of the drug. At the
14
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.599
wheel of that truck was Manuel Antonio
Castañeda, a former national police deputy who
15
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.719
from that moment began to be called
the narco chauffeur. The truck loaded with
16
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.359
cocaine was assigned to the security scheme
of the former deputy director of the good
17
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.400
EP Ronald RodrÃguez, a former DAS
agent who went from protector protected by those
18
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
rare things that happen in that entity. He' s a civil servant.
19
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.400
I' m sure he had lent
the truck to the narco driver in good
20
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.239
faith, as if someone could lend
something that wasn' t his own,
21
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.040
but from the state or hired by
the state to provide protection and not to
22
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.159
do favors, even if they were
legal that they weren' t. Anyway,
23
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.519
the Cauca episode was the first in
a series of events that allegedly involve
24
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:06.200
in this network of corruption the president
of one of the unions of the np
25
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.000
named Wilson, Debia, about which
Mr Castañeda, the so- called narco
26
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:17.159
driver, declared and claims to have
compromising audios and photographs. But that'
27
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.159
s not all. Mr Castañeda,
the narco- driver, also confessed that
28
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.599
he participated in the escape plan of
drug lord Juan Larison Castro, alias Matamba,
29
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.039
who escaped from the pillory disguised as
a guardian, said that in the
30
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.000
plan to favor the escape of Matamba, in addition to members of the Gulf
31
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.199
Clan mafia, national police officers participated, including Captain Luis Eduardo Duque Casas,
32
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:53.080
who was captured. According to his
version, narco Chofer also mentioned other senior
33
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.439
officers, including generals, but the
prosecution did not want to hear about this.
34
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.000
The prosecution denied him last week at
the beginning of the opportunity by darco
35
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.840
driver saying that the information he has
delivered is not enough to hit. Criminal
36
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:19.520
organizations technically declare it. That principle
of opportunity had been suspended and they were
37
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.560
prepared to re- evaluate it.
If Mr Castañeda delivers more information at this
38
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.840
time from his place of detention,
he communicates with us. Manuel Antonio Castañeda,
39
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.520
nicknamed the narco chauffeur, Mr Castañeda. Good morning, well, good
40
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.159
morning to all, Mr Castañeda,
to what do you attribute the decision of
41
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.680
the Taxation not to grant you the
principle of opportunity? Well, Daniel,
42
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.240
really, because for everyone as well
as for me as the proxy, it
43
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.960
was really something surprising, because,
then, we did not expect a decision
44
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.960
of those, since since August,
on 10 August last year, the issue
45
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.560
was traced to the beginning of opportunity
and on 3 December last year they manifest
46
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:10.280
by a writing the evolution of the
principle of opportunity had passed through the case
47
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.919
to the fourth and fifth and according
to the prosecution. This development is being
48
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.519
made because, therefore, insufficient information
has been provided to dismantle criminal gangs,
49
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.639
which is therefore a matter of concern. Daniel, because, well, I
50
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.600
' ve given a lot of information. Apart from the arrests that have been
51
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.439
made, I have delivered concrete things
that are quite important and relevant in which
52
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:38.000
there are high- ranking national police
personnel that we are talking about in the
53
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.720
Matamo case, we are talking about
corruption, good EP and other factors of
54
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:49.800
criminal acts. Mr Castañeda, we
are going through parts which people with their
55
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:57.800
own names are involved in corrupt behaviors
in the national protection unit. We were
56
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:03.000
interrupted by your call. You know
that Mr Castañeda is in prison, he
57
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:10.040
' s calling with permission from the
prison authorities from a prison phone and we
58
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.519
' ll see at any moment we' ll return this call. But it
59
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.360
is supremely important because this man,
who says that he says a committee of
60
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:27.120
the Public Prosecutor' s Office that
is collaborating enough, delivered a report of
61
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.279
eighty- four pages in which he
gives in detail information, recordings, photographs.
62
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.000
Finally, we asked you, Mr
Castañeda, which people with their own
63
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:43.360
names are involved in corrupt behaviors in
the National Protection Unit, as we have
64
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.160
the case of trade unionist Wilson Devia. There' s the issue of Ronald
65
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.279
Rodriguez, because he' s already
captured. We have certain escorts from the
66
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:59.439
unit as is Juan Pablo RodrÃguez Ortiz, who he was at the time,
67
00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.360
because or I don' t know
if he still does it to Wilson Devia,
68
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.720
who was the person who linked me
to Wilson de Vida for the issue
69
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:14.040
of renting schemes, and we have
other people who are still linked in favor
70
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.680
of criminal gangs. They went to
work in the national protection unit, as
71
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:27.879
Mr How ere Onis said there was
Alexander, sir How was the scheme of
72
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:35.839
the operation of the scheme rental system
at the UNP initially, because I know
73
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:42.600
that Wilson of life through. Juan
Pablo Ortiz, who is the escort of
74
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.839
the unit that relates me to the
i, presents me as the president of
75
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.759
the unions of the EP Bun.
That was a meeting that took place in
76
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:55.199
Ayuelo near his house to his apartment. And so, because of some threats
77
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.079
that I had for a person who
is also captured, who calls himself the
78
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.920
Mexican alias, I' m a
forty of target squares, because I have
79
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.759
some threats and because of that,
because I' m looking for an implementation
80
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.279
of a security scheme. But since
I do not meet the requirements, because
81
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.240
Juan Pablo makes me the bridge with
Wilson Devia and this person manifests that he
82
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.959
has the power, since he is
president of the unions, to be able
83
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.160
to help me to assign a protection
scheme initially, because he starts by charging
84
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.720
200 million pesos for the allocation of
a scheme that was a armored van and
85
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.959
two units of protection of the good
EP with his armament and a fuel quota
86
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:39.079
that they give according to the vehicles
like this factor, because it was too
87
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.839
then reached a subsequent agreement of a
monthly rent that was seven million pesos,
88
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.360
that was the initial treatment that we
started with Wilson Debia and Juan Pablo Ortiz
89
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.920
and the other members of the scheme. At that time, Mr Casteñada,
90
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.879
how you pay those seven million pesos
and what concrete evidence you have about the
91
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.560
alleged crimes of the president of or
the trade unions of ONP, Wilson Dévil.
92
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.279
These payments were initially made always the
intermediary has been Juan Pablo Ortiz.
93
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.399
The money was given to John Paul
and in his absence, some appropriations were
94
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.439
made to the same account the house
of Wilson Devia and others were made in
95
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.600
the name of the wife of o. The husband, the sentimental couple of
96
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:33.320
Juan Pablo Ortiz. You, in
addition to this corruption, UNP has revealed
97
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.799
that Mr Debia was involved in road
piracy robberies and that products of those robberies
98
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.840
were stored and that you have proof
of how they moved the proceeds of those
99
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.840
robberies. How so, Mr Castaña, these evidences are in the hands of
100
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.320
the prosecution. We are talking about
the fact that after the two thousand and
101
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.840
nineteen that is, the subject of
the rental of this scheme came to fruition,
102
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.200
since a trust was already generated and
I was fined as a stronger friendship
103
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.360
with Debia. And there was already
confidence in certain criminal activities. I'
104
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.879
m cool like that. And Wilson, because already as there was more confidence,
105
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.080
as I just said, he had
his companions of zt and that they
106
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.440
had been previously the das himself may
manifest that he could use his companions to
107
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.759
make false raids and even a merchandise
that was smuggled that had been stolen.
108
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.919
It is kept in his apartment in
model, in not even in his apartment,
109
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.879
in that of his wife, Marisol
Tontes. Of that, there was
110
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.240
evidence, photographs, and we are
waiting for the same prosecution to advance in
111
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.960
that, because at the moment there
has not even been any progress in an
112
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:50.639
interrogation regarding that. Well, let' s go now to the matam case
113
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.639
in addition to Captain Luis Eduardo Duque. What are the officers of the national
114
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.600
police involved in the escape of this
capo, because the case of the Tamba
115
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.440
we have concerning the captures, which
is of alias. The horseman Edgar Molevar
116
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.080
is bird alias bird is indeed the
captain and there are other catches, as
117
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.360
they surprise one who have not been
made as they are initially, as the
118
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.679
driver of the same captain who participated
driving the official vehicle on the day of
119
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.960
the escape. We have some evidence
that was given to the same prosecution for
120
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.480
some activities that they put me to
do They literally used me the same police
121
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.360
and the same prosecution When the same
idea was brought to the attention of this
122
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.279
whole situation, they put me to
do certain activities I called to infiltrate their
123
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.080
gang and get more information out of
those who had participated in the escape.
124
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.399
There are audios of an hour almost
two hours approximately that some recordings were made
125
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.360
and there we are talking about too
many people from the same police, as
126
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.879
are Lieutenant Colonel Telles, who is
the current commander of Gaula Bogotá. Yes,
127
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.679
some Colonels are also mentioned that at
the time it was General Morillo who
128
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.879
was the director of the Digin,
that they talk about some criminal acts they
129
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:16.240
committed with them in Ibabia and when
he was Commander Iwague. We are talking
130
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.799
about the General of the Dijin,
that Londoño Portela, who was also director
131
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.840
and that, according to Edgar Monlevar, because they passed money quotas to him
132
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.320
for certain elective activities that they did
in the same audios. It is referenced
133
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:37.639
to that which was exactly, for
example, the participation of Colonel Carlos Eduardo
134
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.120
Telles, who remains the Gaula commander
of the police in Bogotá in that escape.
135
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.159
According to the evidence that you have, because according to what he says
136
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.639
the same captain houses in the audio, because the colonel was the one who
137
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.039
gave viability to him in order to
be able to grant the subject of the
138
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.480
vehicle with a Marshal l n Ons
plan, as he said of his marchal
139
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.000
plans Son as to justify the displacements
from one municipality to another or department to
140
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.039
another. And that was the colonel' s participation as such to justify and
141
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.799
back the captain in that displacement.
But who was watching for everything that night,
142
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.600
because he was the captain, but
he was supported by Colonel Tellis.
143
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.679
Well, you just appointed a retired
general who held a very high office.
144
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.080
He was director of the origin of
General Fernando Murillo and now I think he
145
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.480
' s going to be the security
adviser of fede won, or is he
146
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.559
already the security adviser of sedegante?
What was the participation that you knew that
147
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:46.559
this High Officer had, presumably the
Crime Commission, because here very, very
148
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.440
rare things happened in that when they
are made aware of the idea of the
149
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.240
facts and later to the Fica,
the prosecutor Juan Pablo Fajardo Lanza becomes aware
150
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.879
and how there is a special group
of the let who works with her at
151
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.919
that time for the recapture of Matamba. I' m being interviewed by General
152
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.120
Murillo. It is supposed that for
a matter of transparency and the General in
153
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.360
turn assigns me a colonel of anti- narcotics so that, supposedly, the
154
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.840
information or what I am going to
say does not leak. It turns out
155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.840
that among those acts that they put
me to follow up and coordinated activities with
156
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.879
themselves. In those recordings that I
collect, I made Edgar himself and the
157
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.000
same captain in the audios. In
the recordings, they say that when he
158
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.600
was a colonel, he had an
attack or something, that, for the
159
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.720
same reason, he had his artificial
intestines and that Colonel Murillo was the one
160
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.039
who gave them the free way to
commit thefts on the cigarette tracks, that
161
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.320
that was a very good business,
that they provided them with more than the
162
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.279
same drug. There they refer to
Colonel Murillo, who at the time,
163
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.639
since he was already general and director
of the AU, I said and what
164
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:11.799
is the participation of General Londoño Portela
in these alleged illegals, even exactly as
165
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.320
the general had been director of the
Digin Londoño Portela that even in the same
166
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.519
audio I say to Edgar lego himself
and consciences of life, because when I
167
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.159
was a police officer, he was
literally my godfather what is called the interior
168
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.879
of the institutions. Then he tells
me to see the coincidences of life.
169
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.200
I didn' t know he was
part of the organization. Let' s
170
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.960
call it that because they gave him
quotas for clearing certain warrants within this organization
171
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:46.639
that they had. That' s
basically like the function created by General Londoño
172
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.840
Portelan said by Edgar Molevar himself.
Good for the various cases that cross yours.
173
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.120
You have understood yourself with several prosecutors. A moment ago he spoke,
174
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.159
for example, of the mention of
a prosecutor named Juan Pablo Fajardo Lanza,
175
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:11.399
who is in charge of investigating the
escape of matamba. What happened when the
176
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.279
names of important police officers and members
of the Prosecutor' s Office of Valle
177
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.559
del Cauca allegedly involved in corruption cases
began to float. It turns out that
178
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.720
initially, because they take me to
the bunker, supposedly for safety so that
179
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.639
they don' t leak and don' t see that I' m the
180
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.159
formal source in the case of the
matamba escape. Initially, because I inform
181
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279
this prosecutor of all the facts that
are happening, and I even inform him
182
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.759
of the people who own the merchandise
for which they captured me nothing. I
183
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.519
mean cocaine, I mention it,
I provide you with some supports, evidence
184
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.879
of photographs of criminal acts being made. But this prosecutor, because somehow he
185
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.679
tells me that we do not focus
on the issue of drug trafficking, but
186
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.960
on the issue of the escape of
matamba, because, because those are things
187
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.759
that are going to hurt me and
that I am going to pack up more
188
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.679
on that issue. So that we
do not refer to these people and leave
189
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.120
them isolated and focus more on the
issue of escape, which is something that
190
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.279
you are curious about at the moment, because, because all the cases that
191
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.559
we have been hearing within the prosecution
are similar that in a certain way,
192
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.240
because it is as if the prosecution
wanted certain gangs not to be dismantled because
193
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.799
they have some interests within the same
entity. Let' s be clear,
194
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:41.279
Mr Castañeda, you received the insinuation, the instruction veiled from shutting up when
195
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.759
you named important people from the prosecution. Of course, sir, and there
196
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.440
' s the weirdest thing about that
moment is that that very day I give
197
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.080
the statements in the bunker to this
prosecutor in the morning, on the same
198
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:59.360
evening, the owners of the merchandise, calling specifically a person named Luis Carlos
199
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.279
or who is told in the middle
that they know each other and how we
200
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.519
moved the monkey. This person quotes
me outside Bogotá, because, without knowing
201
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:14.319
myself, what this date was for. But or surprise that when I came
202
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.599
to the bomb in the company of
my cousin, Rafael Velandia, who was
203
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.559
also captured in drug trafficking issues in
an episode Pereira, because he was already
204
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:29.839
there and there was this person named
Luis Carlos, he was there in the
205
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.559
bomb with a vehicle when I arrived, because obviously I noticed as a different
206
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.319
reaction from them towards me. And
yet, they make me ride a vehicle,
207
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.319
a toyota. There is light and
inside that toyota is a person to
208
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:47.119
whom we mention as JJ, who
is obviously already fully identified with the prosecution
209
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:55.799
and have given up his supports.
And this person had a copy of the
210
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.759
D A' s folder of what
I had said, of the testimonies I
211
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.279
had given the Hollywood reaction and,
in fact, that same day, that
212
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.599
same day, exactly if Daniel,
then this person takes my folder. I
213
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.519
basically, because that was true,
that was my signature and obviously, that
214
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.759
was what I was saying and where
I was mentioning them. But this person,
215
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.279
then, tells me how it is
possible that I am going to miss
216
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:25.759
them that one thing is that I
sell to the subject of the people who
217
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.200
participated in the escape from Matamba,
but how I will sell them is to
218
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.599
them that they are untouchable. So, then, my reaction at that time,
219
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.400
because I feared for my life,
was, obviously, to refuse and
220
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.839
deny myself in the face of this
situation that it was not and that it
221
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.519
was not my firm and that it
was false. Yes, I have to
222
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.839
clarify Daniel that for this there are
supports and there is evidence of everything I
223
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.119
am saying that they bear that this
is true, because, because, as
224
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.960
many have said, I am supposedly
a liar of all the testimonies I have
225
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.039
given and all the things I have
contributed. Then I want to clarify that
226
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.039
there are supports, my reactions,
well, obviously, among all that topic
227
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.559
that happened Daniel, because specifically,
because they let me go, but literally
228
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.680
and diplomatically they make me a threat, that quiet, that nothing is going
229
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.839
to happen, that I take the
route to my house, that nothing is
230
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.880
going to happen. Because they don' t want to attack my family,
231
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.000
so they won' t do anything. Of that, obviously, they are
232
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.119
untouchable. I don' t know
why they said it, if it was
233
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.359
because of the fact that the prosecution
itself, because it was covering them up,
234
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.680
is covering them up. Then,
as I was coming, obviously,
235
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.640
in coordination with General Murillo, I
informed General Murillo that very night that it
236
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.960
was not going to be more acts
of intelligence call and I was cool.
237
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.559
So, because it was literally what
I had to do, because for them
238
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.559
more members will arrive on the subject
of the matamba escape. It was because
239
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.519
of all the activities that they put
me to do without me having a legal
240
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.960
support in which I would rely to
do all these things. Mr Castañeda,
241
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:03.920
within the officials who appeared at that
time there are people you understood close to
242
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.680
the current Attorney General in charge of
Marta Mancera. You can repeat it to
243
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:14.480
me in what a pity. Within
the persons of the Prosecutor' s Office
244
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.359
that you mentioned or whose names came
out in the course of these leaderships and
245
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:26.640
from whom you received the insinuation of
not speaking, there are people close to
246
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.960
the current Attorney General of the Nation
Marta Mancera, because we have a topic
247
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.200
and that is the prosecutor of the
Pereira case, of drug trafficking of my
248
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:40.599
cousin, that is the prosecutor Jaime
Ocampo, who I also heard through the
249
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:45.240
media, that it is related to
a subject of Dr Mancera, in the
250
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.559
case of good fortune, of the
issue of cabaca. I don' t
251
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.400
know how close they are, or
if they have some differences, but I
252
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.960
also understand that the prosecutor Juan Pablo
Fajardo, because he is close to them
253
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.480
and there is a public prosecutor named
Troche, who was the prosecutor who initialized
254
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.079
in the rapprochements with the prosecution,
hinted that everything that was happening had been
255
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.200
the fault of the same dea no
more of them. Well, thank you
256
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.519
very much to Mr Manuel Antonio Castañeda
for the information that this man named the
257
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.359
narco chauffeur has, must be seriously
evaluated by the justice system. What he
258
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:26.960
says must be demonstrated or denied within
a serious, independent investigation and not invited
259
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.599
to keep some silences and then deny
him the primacy of opportunity. This was
260
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.559
Colonel' s report today. Thank
you very much.
