Press release
Manizales, June 4, 2024.
With respect to the information published in the newspaper La Patria and which was replicated by some media outlets, I would like to clarify the following:
- It isn’t true and it does not correspond to the legal reality that the undersigned, Juan Alberto Cardona, or Mrs. Andrea Osorio Cataño, are linked to domain forfeiture processes. To confirm the above, information on measures registered in the public instruments office can be requested.
- There is also no currently any criminal proceedings or property forfeiture proceedings carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office. To confirm what has been said, you can go to the database application of the Oral Accusatory Criminal System (SPOA), where you can confirm that there is no history in our name and there is no order in the process of extinction against us.
- Within the framework of truth We have worked with ethics and transparency and this can be corroborated by those who have accompanied us along this path in the process of clean work.
- They have wanted to link us for a year and a half with criminal cases in which we have nothing to do, because although it is true that we were always close to the participants and accused, it is no less true that friendship is not and has never been a crime.
- It is regrettable that they want to point out to us of behaviors that do not exist, just because someone did not read a document correctly or perhaps did not understand it or simply had the purpose of creating a political attack on my father, orchestrating and taking advantage of the media coverage of the news. I want to make it clear that to date, there does not exist and there has never been any criminal process in which we appear identified and much less as participants in processes carried out by specialized prosecutors, as can be confirmed by the entity responsible for the investigative action. in criminal matters.
Sincerely,
Juan Alberto Cardona
However, on the page of the Judicial Branch a process appears before the Second Court of Domain Forfeiture of Antioquia and as can be seen in the image below, the list of investigated. There appear the two relatives of the representative to the Chamber for the Liberal Party.
In addition to that, The last movement of the process corresponds to last May 15 and the names of Juan Alberto and Jenny Andrea Osorio Cataño still appear.
How will be remembered, this medium reported that the 42nd Prosecutor’s Office for domain forfeiture is carrying out a process of this type against several Caldensians. This case is related to Las Marionetas and especially with the deceased former Pacoreño senator, Mario Castaño Pérez, for assets that would have been acquired illegally.
A lawyer told him LA PATRIA that this process begins when there is a commission of a crime or a serious administrative offense. “This began with the purpose of a certification of copies that the Prosecutor’s Office made against these people to link them to a process because apparently they acquired or used property to commit a crime.”
This process does not mean that they are guilty, it will be a judge who determines whether or not they are responsible.
