Colombia’s inspector general requests to block proceedings against ‘peace talks hacker’
Aug 4, 2014 posted by Tim Hinchliffe



Colombia’s Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez has requested to block a lawsuit against the hacker accused of wiretapping the Colombian president and the peace talks between the government and the country’s largest rebel group, the FARC.

At the request of former president and current Senator Alvaro Uribe, Ordoñez requested the halt in proceedings because Uribe didn’t trust the handling of the case by Prosecutor General Eduardo Montealagre, Colombia’s Noticias Uno reported on Sunday.

Uribe asked Ordoñez for special surveillance over the case and requested that he appoint special agents and attorneys to participate in the case against the accused hacker, Andres Sepulveda.

Sepulveda was arrested for spying on behalf of former presidential candidate, Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who was Uribe’s choice for president in last June’s elections.

The hacker was accused of spying on President Juan Manuel Santos’ re-election campaign as well as the peace talks between the FARC and the government in Havana, Cuba.

Clearly the inspector general is taking his orders from the former right-wing president while allegedly required by law to serve in the administration of the sitting President. What a shame.

1. I wonder if the inspector general can be kicked out of the sitting president's administration.

2. You can be sure this would never be allowed were Uribe sitting back in the President's office.

The inspector general would have undoubtedly have joined the choir celestial a very long time ago, as soon as he showed any trace of loyalty to another President's dictates.

Pretty slick of the little creepy Uribe, getting himself elected as a senator, thereby side-stepping prosecution, isn't it?

That's exactly what the evil fascist General Pinochet did after he finally had to face an election and failed to win it. He went where they couldn't get him for a while before fleeing to England.

We remember a lot of Uribe's officials already skipped the country, and some had to be tracked down by Interpol. What a sleazy bunch.
