Alleged Cash Transfers To Colombian Legislators Reported
Reports suggest suitcases containing money were delivered to the Presidents of the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate in Colombia. These alleged transfers were intended to secure political support in Congress. The practice is linked to the 'mermelada' system, where the national government reportedly provides contracts to politicians to gain legislative backing. The source noted that this is not a new phenomenon regarding the national government's dealings. Allegations have surfaced regarding suitcases of money being delivered to presidents of chambers to secure political support. The reported funds are part of a larger investigation involving approximately 100 billion pesos.
