BOGOTA - A political scandal in Colombia that erupted with claims of the alleged illegal wiretapping of a presidential aide’s nanny, comes to a head this week with those involved due to give evidence to prosecutors.
The saga has gripped Colombian society with all the elements of a soap opera: claims of blackmail, stolen dollars in a briefcase, kidnapping, lie detector tests and campaign fraud. To gain access to her calls, a false report was allegedly used to link her to organised crime, according to Attorney-General Francisco Barbosa, who opened an investigation.
Then on Friday, police lieutenant-colonel Oscar Davila was found dead in his car in Bogota, allegedly from a self-inflicted bullet wound. On the last day, June 23, Mr Benedetti has been called to explain his campaign financing claims, said the Attorney-General.
