Renowned Lawyer Francisco Bernate Reveals Startling Allegations in Controversial Audio

Finally, the controversial First Criminal Judge of the Duitama Circuit, Álvaro Rincón heeded the order of the Judicial Court of Santa Rosa de Viterbo and suspended the hearing that he himself had brought forward for yesterday, supposedly to be able to make a decision before retiring next Monday.

Well, although the hearing did not take place, since yesterday an audio began to circulate that supposedly corresponded to the voice of the renowned lawyer Francisco Bernate (photo), representative of the family that owns the Ávitar capturer, and which surprised with a statement that will now put several politicians in Duitama and public officials in Boyacá to tremble and bite their nails.

“Deliver to the authorities the investments of people who are linked to the State, requests for money from alleged public officials, financing of electoral campaigns,” is heard in the audio.

And he adds that “there are three aspects that draw the attention of the accusing body, such as: public officials putting money here (supposedly to Ávitar), which they could not justify with their salary; requests for money made by public officials and financing of public money, since my client is clearly in danger by being in a prison.”

Well, the Duitama lawyer for the victims, Henry Manuel Gutiérrez, not only assures that the audio is part of a statement by Bernate, but also added that the financing of campaigns by the construction companies that recruit them is an open secret in Duitama. .

And so says this lawyer, former councilor and who participated in the atypical electoral contest for the mayor of Duitama between July and September 2021, after the Council of State dismissed Constanza Ramírez.

“Everyone knew that they were benefiting a little from the campaigns. Surprises are coming for politicians from Duitama, but also for people from Boyacá because those from Ávitar supported campaigns especially for the Chamber and Senate, and of course for the atypical campaign for mayor, as we said at the time,” said the former candidate for mayor. and now representative of victims of the Ávitar construction company.
