Last Wednesday, November 23, former senator Eduardo Pulgar, who is in detention, arrived at the La Misericordia Clinic in Baranquilla, after he complained of severe chest pain. This alleged ailment leaves on hold the transfer to La Picota Prison in Bogotá, which was ordered by INPEC a couple of weeks ago. Pulgar joins a long list of politicians and criminals who have suffered “diseases” before they are transferred to La Picota.
