Defense Lawyer Denies Bribery Allegations In Bogota
Lawyer William Granados Ferreira denied allegations that the defense received an offer of 300 million pesos to secure a favorable ruling. García testified before the Supreme Court that the funds originated from his role as an advisor to Ávalos. The defense argues García is cooperating with authorities to secure a sentence reduction in a separate case. A defense lawyer argued that businessman Alberto Escolano paid for Jessica's apartment, suggesting a level of intimacy that builds trust. The defense aims to create doubt in court regarding the UCO's accusation that Coldo acted as a transmission belt for Aldama and an alter ego for the Minister of Transport. The prosecution maintains its position following hearings with the accused.
