Bogotá, Aug 4 (EFE).- Colombian President Gustavo Petro said this Friday that he trusts justice after his eldest son, Nicolás Petro Burgos, revealed to the Prosecutor’s Office that part of the allegedly illegal money he received reached the 2022 election campaign and has appointed a lawyer to represent him.
According to Petro, “it will be the judges in their different powers who legally define what corresponds” and to that end, “I have granted power to the associate judge of the Criminal Cassation Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, Mauricio Pava Lugo, to represent me “.
“As for the institution, without any hesitation, I affirm and reiterate that no one can be above the law and that justice must be applied impartially,” the Colombian president added in a statement. EFE
