The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) set a date for the new appearance that Senator-elect Piedad Córdoba has to make on the information she has about the assassination of Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, after the peace court reviewed the guardianship filed by the relatives of the conservative leader, who alleged that their rights as victims had been violated because they were not allowed to attend live and live the first hearing given by the Congresswoman of the Historical Pact.
One of the arguments that had the most weight in the determination of the special court was the quality of victims of the members of the family of the conservative leader. Judge Alejandro Ramelli was the one who stated that victims' rights should take precedence over the JEP; a position supported by jurists Raúl Eduardo Sánchez and Gustavo Salazar. Against were Maria del Pilar Valencia and Reinere Jaramillo.
According to Caracol Radio, on Thursday, March 24, Córdoba will have to return to the JEP, after the cancellation of its first story, following the action of Gómez Hurtado's relatives.
They reported on that radio that she entered the trial for this assassination after the former FARC combatant, and now a congressman of the Commons Party, Carlos Antonio Lozada, assured that the senator-elect knows the identity of the murderers.
This new summons comes in the midst of new political revelations, where it splashed even former President of the Republic Juan Manuel Santos. What Córdoba said was released exclusively by Noticias RCN, which revealed the interview she delivered to that court of peace.
Cordoba framed former presidents Ernesto Samper and Juan Manuel Santos; Senator of the Democratic Pole, Iván Cepeda; former Minister of the Interior, Juan Fernando Cristo; today director of the Truth Commission, Francisco de Roux; and then head of the FARC, Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, today director of the party Common politician.
“I knew (about the assassination) Iván Cepeda; I knew this guy, Christ; he knew (Juan Manuel) Santos; he knew the guy I told them, 'Timochenko',” Piedad Córdoba told the JEP, as RCN News collected.
Moreover, the political leader assured that, supposedly, Jesús Santrich addressed the above-mentioned characters directly and told them about the assassination; Cordoba mentioned that the former guerrilla and former president Santos did not have a cordial relationship and that, on the contrary, they got along badly. “Santos did know, Santos did. That's why I told him: the Nobel Peace Prize will tell who murdered Álvaro Gomez,” Cordoba revealed.
On the other hand, he also announced aside from the dialogue he had with former President Samper, to whom he would have told that the FARC was responsible for the death of the conservative politician: “I went to talk to (Ernesto) Samper and he stared at me like: 'This is crazy, 'and I thought: 'So charro, I'm telling you who it was and he still thinks I'm crazy, '” Cordoba told the JEP, while giving other surprising details.
In addition, she acknowledged that the day Jesús Santrich was arrested by justice, she was almost arrested as well and that is why she came clean with the robe of the peace court: “Why am I going to deny it, together we were with Chavez, we did many meetings on the subject of peace,” added the political leader.
