A series of photographs would demonstrate the close relationship and even the blood relationship of a first cousin of Senator Carlos Andrés Trujillo Gonzáles (Conservative Party), one of the key figures in the notorious scandal of the forty tank trucks purchased to address the water shortage in La Guajira, and that he would have visited the offices of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (Ungrd).
“What Carlos Carrillo (current director of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management -Ungrd- says in an interview with BluRadio on Friday, May 3, 2024) is not a lie, everything leads to Itaguí”the statements made by journalist Juan David Flórez, from the local media, were so blunt. The Itaguiseño to the program Follow the W on Monday, May 6, 2024, in which several visits made by a cousin of the senator, identified as Andrés Camilo González Giraldo, were evident.
Now you can follow us on our WhatsApp Channel and in Facebook.
What has attracted the most attention is that these visits were carried out days before the regional elections on October 29, 2023 and the contracts were signed, which was done on October 12, 2023.
But apart from this relative, there was a political partner close to Trujillo who would also have visited the Ungrd facilities, and it would be Carlos Mario Martínez Hincapié, today Secretary of Economic Development of the Itagüí mayor’s office.
In a right of petition that the journalist made and that was revealed in the program, the document with date and time that accounts for the visits made by González Giraldo and Martínez Hincapié was known. The people they went to visit were Ángela Roa, Sandra Echenique, Alethia Arango and Sneyder Pinilla.
Arango and Pinilla, key pieces in the corruption network as they are deputy directors of the Ungrd, received a visit on the same day from González Giraldo on October 3, 2023. He visited Pinilla at 8:55 in the morning, while that at 5:23 in the afternoon (17:23) he did it to Arango’s office.
However, what caught the most attention is what was a relative of the senator doing there? even more so if you take into account that the journalist Flórez assured that González Giraldo does not hold any public position but rather is a merchant.
All this is related thanks to a photo in which Senator Trujillo appears with González Giraldo and his brother Daniel Esteban González Giraldo, both cousins of the parliamentarian.who is leader of the Conservative Party faction that has helped push several of Petro’s reforms with key votes.
However, to explain all this we also have to mention the current mayor of the municipality of Itaguí, Diego Torres, because several photos were also shown during the program in which the president (at that time a candidate for mayor) came out supporting to councilor González Giraldo when he was also campaigning.
