Colombia’s Inspector General’s Office said Sunday he would file criminal charges against a controversial radio host for negotiating the purchase of an indigenous slave on air.

In an interview with a storyteller of the Wayuu nation that inhabits the most northern part of Colombia, radio host Fabio Zuleta caused indignation when he inquired what a woman from the indigenous would cost him.

Additionally, Zuleta felt no scruples to publicly announce “I would keep her locked up so she doesn’t run away.”

The Zuleta family owes their prominence largely to them entertaining drug traffickers since the so-called Marijuana Bonanza in the 1970’s and are currently implicated in an investigation into a plot to rig the 2018 election with President Ivan Duque‘s Democratic Center party and the mafia.

"I am not Chinita, nor am I for sale

The controversy broke out after the discriminatory and sexual exploitation statements against Wayúu women by Fabio Zuleta and an indigenous man.

Due to the declarations given in a radio program between an Indigenous and Fabio Zuleta, brother of the well-known vallenato singer Poncho Zuleta, the Prosecutor's Office will initiate an investigation against the men because the declarations "could configure alleged crimes of commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking."

In dialogue with BLU Radio, Princess Primeria Barros Pimienta, a Wayúu indigenous from the Uriana clan in the municipality of Uribia, La Guajira, assured that Zuleta's comments "clearly undermine the dignity and value of Wayúu women."

“I am not 'Chinita', nor am I for sale. The Wayúu woman has value, but she has no price. Wayúu women do not sell ”, he assured.

The vice president, Marta Lucía Ramírez, and the Presidential Advisor for Equity for Women, Gheidy Gallo, requested "the judicial authorities to carry out an investigation against a man from an indigenous community and against the director of the 'Good afternoon with Fabio Zuleta' Program of the radio station 1050 am in Valledupar ”.

The request of the 2 officials is added to that made by the attorney Fernando Carrillo , who announced hours before that he would file a formal complaint against the announcer who spoke openly about human trafficking at that Valledupar station. The official, according to El Heraldo , will take the case before the Attorney General's Office.
