Attorney General Francisco Barbosa acknowledged that on the last bridge he traveled to San Andrés accompanied by his daughter and a friend of hers. The displacement occurred in the middle of an official visit by the Prosecutor and the Comptroller General to the island.
Barbosa said that his daughter expressed her interest in accompanying him on the trip and he made the legal consultations, which he says concluded that there were no legal or disciplinary irregularities to do so.
“I did not want to refer to this topic, because my daughter is involved, who is a minor and is the person I love the most (…) on the topic that has been raised about walks, I would never expose my daughter to a situation of sanitary danger. There are no restaurants, there are no beaches, there is no open trade, “said prosecutor Barbosa.
However, the official is already filing a complaint in the Accusations Commission because he would have violated the quarantine rules that prohibit the displacement of minors, much more when it comes to travel outside the city.
The prosecutor added that they traveled on the plane of the Prosecutor’s Office in an official commission.
“I defrayed the expenses and when they call me to the Accusations Commission I will support it. I am the most respectful of judicial decisions and of my natural judge. I will come when the Commission calls me to explain each of the issues that have to do with this commission, “said Barbosa.
“She didn’t go out on anything. She was just accompanying me. Every time I can travel with her, I will,” said Barbosa.
He also pointed out that after his election as head of the accusing body, he has been at the forefront of the post all the time, which has taken up much of his time. “I have a teenage girl and I want them to put themselves in the heart of a person who, beyond being a Prosecutor, is the father of a family, and in this sense, to say that whenever I have the opportunity to travel with my daughter and my family, I will do so. No There is neither a legal nor a constitutional prohibition, “said the head of the accusing body.
He also pointed out that they moved within the framework of decree 749 of this year that allows the transfers of people within the framework of their functions.
“It was said that another additional plane was requested and that more people traveled. Not only was my daughter, the friend who is a minor, and we also went on the plane of the Prosecutor’s Office in an official commission,” said Barbosa.
Additionally, he indicated: “If the objective is to stone me publicly for loving my daughter, for being the father of a family, for accompanying me, I receive the stones with ease.” And he said that he will not refer to the subject again. I don’t know
Measures on San Andrés
The Prosecutor’s Office will charge charges to the governor of San Andrés Everth Julio Hawkins Sjogree for alleged irregularities in the management of resources to face the pandemic.
Gabriel Jaimes, head of the Directorate delegated to the Supreme Court of Justice, pointed out that the official is being investigated for a contract for the design of advertising material in the framework of the health emergency.
He added that without justification the governor went to the manifest urgency to directly award the contract without bidding.
It was also established that Noel Foto SAS was paid monies corresponding to services for a value higher than the market, which caused a patrimonial detriment to the department. Three other cases found during visits to the island and that would have irregularities were prioritized.
“On March 18, 2020, he passed collection accounts for greater amounts of materials and values higher than the market average, in the amount of $ 86’800,000. Such amount was paid by the department,” said the official.
For these facts, he will answer for the crime of contract without compliance with legal requirements and embezzled by appropriation. You will be asked to be sent home by jail.
