A prominent Colombian senator claimed Tuesday he had receiving threats after speaking out against a recently arrested governor with alleged paramilitary ties.
Earlier this month, La Guajira Governor Francisco Gomez was arrested at a local fair after prosecutors accused him of ties to paramilitary groups and homicide.
“The denouncement of the threats are out there but I’m not going to refer to those situations created by clowns and criminals,” said U Party Senator Armando Benedetti to local media about the purported threats.

Gomez’ arrest followed investigations from journalist and political analysts who were forced to flee the country after receiving threats.
