Habla veedor de servicios públicos de Cúcuta que sobrevivió a atentado

0:00 The U reports Colonel Daniel, the Vázquez case and the Mancuso case welcome good July. This is Colonel Cúcuta' s report It' s a hit town. The motorcycle gunmen operate in the north of Santander in broad daylight and also sheltered in the shadows of the night. They seem to target those who question the administrative recruitment of the department, the capital or the municipalities. We see it. We have already told you the story of the veteran and journalist Jaime Vázquez, murdered by a hit man in a cafeteria. After leaving Mass, the gunman fired with his left hand and fled limping. For these events, Alejandro Arias was captured, who, according to the prosecutor' s office, is a member of the ACA' s hit- and- run network at forty- seven is left- handed and lame. The crime occurred on April 14. Many of his complaints were investigated by the murdered Jaime Vázquez, with him also vetor, a citizen specializing in public services, lawyer Francisco Cifuentes.

1:14 A few weeks after the murder of Vázquez, they tried to kill Francisco Cifuentes at his home in the Torcorama neighborhood, three of the northern capital of Santander. A man arrived on a motorcycle and Vázquez was talking to his sister outside the house. The gunman got off the motorcycle and walked without haste, without aggressive attitudes towards the house. When he had alvedor at range, he pulled a gun out of a black purse and pointed Vázquez to his head would be dead if it weren' t for his sister' s heroic reaction, which fell on the gunman. The criminal shot three times before the gun was framed and he got on the bike. Sadly, one of the shots killed Sacha, the thirteen- year- old dog of Francisco Palacios. A video shows the reaction of the bran, but to heaviness of dor after the attentive father was world sent me miserly dubrecito my dog. Yes, the attack resulted in Cúcuta' s hasty departure from the r. Francisci He is in a place that we will not reveal for safety from where he attends us at this hour.

2:35 Good morning, Mr Palaces. An excellent day for you, for Daniel, an excellent day for all the great team of work of the WU and for all listeners. Mr Palacios, you believe that this attack you suffered is related to the murder of Jaime Vázquez. Not only do I believe. I ' m sure why, four days after the murder of my partner Jaime, bases that rest in peace and I' m called to alert me to stay away from the city so I don' t run the same fate as Jaime.

3:15 I, of course, listened to and returned to the city on the 24th of May to celebrate Mothers' Day, which is celebrated in Cucuta on the last Sunday of May. Well, I really kept myself locked up. On May 29th, I left my house to say goodbye to my sister, because she came from Mexico City and shared with us on Mother' s Day I didn' t have three minutes of being with her saying goodbye when what you just said happened and because, obviously, everything has a direct relationship, although I have to say they didn' t have the same acquaintance about the complaints made by Jaime Vázquez about the issue of consultation, about the issues of health of the PAE and about many more things in the department. If at six months, Daniel was focused on an investigation that we have been carrying out or that I have been carrying out since the year two thousand seven, the contract for the operation of the product and sewerage of the municipality of San José de Cúcuta, which, among others, was given to some people who have been doing what they want with the Cucuteños, but who have the participation of the municipal administrations. We' ve been so mean in Cúcuta. Daniel that six of the last mayors, Three of them are imprisoned, two investigated and

4:47 so, obviously, the last one to be saved is the current administration, because it barely takes six months of its administration. But we regret what is happening in our municipality. Justice doesn' t really exist there. There, everyone who does what he wants, the prosecutor' s office, the prosecutor ' s office and the Comptroller' s office are absent and really, because I consider Daniel, that it is not worth doing that work that we have been doing, that Jaime was taken for these investigations and complaints, they also killed Pedro Durán for those same allegations against corruption. They also killed those who hold former mayor Ramiro Suárez in jail today, and the same thing happened Mires killed Jaime and I am alive miraculously for denouncing corruption in our municipality and nothing happens. Yes, it is terrible what you say, Mr Palacioos, because obviously it is as if it is a new normality that is lived in the north of Santander, that they kill the one who denounces and nothing really happens.

5:57 You, after the attack you suffered, received help from the departmental or municipal authorities, after an attempted homicide, I have to say it very responsibly. The Siguin lords came to order, helped me, of course they took me out of town. They' ve been looking forward to it, but I just have to say something very respectfully. Daniel lives six blocks from a quarter police station commando. Freedom six blocks away. Daniel and fifty- seven minutes after what happened, the police arrived. Fifty- seven minutes after what happened, my brother- in- law, who is a retired lieutenant of the police, called. He called himself and they really ignored and fifty- seven minutes after the events, it' s just that the police show up.

6:58 That leaves me with a lot to think about and I really regret it, but I have to say yes, sir, Mr Palas, I would like to ask you to remind us a little bit of the circumstances of this day, the attack. How it was that you managed to save yourself already when you were under the gunman' s eye, when everything seemed to be given to you to be murdered, for Daniel, tell you the circumstances. Today I have to say it is a miracle that no one can count on or very few people. A guy arrives on the bike very calmly, he stops on his bike because I can see him I have it in mind and the guy separates as who will ask for an address, like who will ask for someone at the moment he is parked in front of us. Next to my sister, unhook the gun and shoot me right in the head. The first shot, the chimps. The first shot was shot in my sight.

8:16 The second shot to the tires of the bike and the third luisparus, which is the shot that beats my chewing. But what I say is with that calm level that things happen and that really the authorities know Daniel, the authorities know what is happening in the department, what is happening in the municipality, to what we, the Cucuteños, are subject to the kidnapping that we, the Cuteños, are subject to in our city. If we save ourselves from one group, we don' t save ourselves from the other. The situation in Cúcuta is difficult. It is really impossible that the authorities at this moment have let those organizations take our city and do whatever they want with the puteños there, there to move us on computer. Play, pay, play, ask, permission, touch, ask for an authorization. Whoever works in the city of Cuuta must do so. Then look at Daniel tell her what happened to me. I am so aware of the facts that I really have no peace of mind. I go out on the street to buy something, some business, and I see a bike and I feel like being approbated. I mean, the situation is difficult, but I am telling my heart to say thanks to God, to the courage of my sister, who dares, dares to grab the guy and who, because he barely manages to knock him down,

9:52 barely manages to take his soul away, because, then, my sister is part of a security company and that, therefore, helped the guy not achieve his task. You think, after this terrible experience, to return to Cúcuta. Mr Palacio, the truth, Daniel, how the situation is and with what is happening. It' s totally impossible for me to go back to Cúcuta. I would say that one cannot abuse the opportunities that God gives him. And this opportunity, because I can not take advantage of it, or is to take advantage of it again for the city where I have saved myself from three attacks daniel is, that are three times that I have saved myself then already with this is the third one, and return without knowing who they are who they are that they are that organize, without knowing who we are exposing ourselves to, because they are so many that I believe that return to my city and expose or it is not only my physical integrity, but that of my family, because not only, it was not only I that I had to leave the city, I had to go out with my family and leave behind, because a work that was being done for the benefit of a community that today continues to be plagued by the cost of public services.

11:20 I am a chair whipped by the indolence of the surveillance and control entities that are really rambling because of their ineficence in our municipality, which has been manifested to them and the copies have been given to them. Daniel is that with Jaime we have a complaint from the prosecution, we have three seven hundred pages, three thousand seven hundred pages, we have four memories. With all the evidence of what is happening in Cucuta of the brazen theft, it is not that I am going to tell a value today the theft that has done to the Cucuteños, to the users of the product service of the cantillado, can exceed the two billion pesos in eighteen years and still nothing happens and it really was up to him not to keep quiet there. Daniel people shut them up with silver. This is a business, where the councillors are, where there are deputies, where there are congressmen, where I have to say it with all responsibility and I say it with all peace of mind, because that is in the complaint. It' s stuck to the Attorney General' s Office.

12:28 They have the support of the monitoring and control bodies, with such a shame that the former officials of the superintendency of public services today are the ones who deal with the inconveniences or complaints of the users. I mean, the corruption there is so huge that this is a cartel, a group of a well- organized crime organization, that there' s no one there who can do anything to them. Dr Palacios. We have seen that Jaime Vázquez is investigating a process of domain extinction and a list of alleged participants among whom are the Governor of Norte, Santander William Villamizar, several relatives of him, three congressmen, including the representative to the Chamber, Whitmer Carrillo, and several contractors.

13:13 What do you know about that investigation, Look Daniel one when you do in this kind of opportunity to manifest and give the news as it is I have to respectfully say that many, but many of the allegations, many of Jaime' s allegations we met through the Faboll Light that Jaime made, including through a program that was called the 19 PM that strangely I don' t know why he ended that program And there, through this media and through the Facebook Light that he did. It was that we met many of the complaints Jaime dedicated himself to the last two or three years to investigate, to gather evidence and to manifest the complaints. Daniel told her that I knew about many of Jaime' s allegations. I didn' t know them and this came to meet him while working with him. But I don' t know well about these allegations, Daniel, because we focused on working, because I asked Jaime for help, all given that the social networks in Cúcuta believed a lot about Jaime, about the denunciations Jaime made, and because I joined him to

14:48 work with this contract zero thirty, but of the denunciations he made on the subject of other things I didn' t have the knowledge. It is important to report that you have worked or worked with the murdered journalist. It refers to water contracts in Cúcuta, in the courtyards and in other municipalities. You can tell us briefly and obviously I know that it is a very complex subject, which is what you have found so far, because look is a contract that started in the year nine hundred and ninety- eight with the intervention of our company of product of singing her or cuuta. In the two thousand four, the Superintendence opened a call to seek a specialized operator, a contract signed in the year two thousand six with a company of the Manuel Francisco Bueno, The cousins and brothers Nule the planner of the contract, or Mr Emilio Tapias and Mauricio Galofre were the ones who tructored this contract and the supervisor of the contract was the Superintendency of Public Services Daniel, with a huge strange condition sheets.

16:00 It is a technical annex and commitments that should be fulfilled, an experience that they should have in order to access the contract. Only four companies finished two PMs. He retired because he saw no guarantees. Aguas de Manizales also did not see guarantees and two companies remained, called Proactive Aguas del Norte de Santander and Aguas Capital s SP de los Nuli. And because this company did not really meet the requirements. Daniel said that each company, that each proposer should present five years of experience in the operation of apueduct and sewerage. And strangely, Mr Nuley and Mr Argél and Mr Castellanos presented an experience brought by Diolguín, Cuba, with documents that today certify and are in the hands of the authorities and the entities of vilance and control that did not meet requirements.

16:57 That manifested itself since the year two thousand and eight. She reported herself and nothing happened. They presented an experience, with false documents, with false experience and false accreditations. And yet this contract was ordered to be delivered. But beyond who operates or who does, Daniel is the way they have done it, falsifying acts of repechased works. They do works in directions that do not exist, depths that do not make them, pipes, pipe diameters that when doing a scan we find that there is no such amount of diameter of the pipes, some subsidies. Daniel, the most unlikely they can do. That doesn' t do it, but a psychopath like the man who runs the company there and who runs it, Mr Hubernán Berger Hernández, set up a company disguised as a foundation called BEIS and charge him, charge nearly sixty thousand stratum families, one poor people, humble people, people I saw on board ranches, people who get water once a week and are so degenerate of charging these people up to forty meters of water per month. Daniel, collect some subsidies when the water doesn' t reach these poor people through a public battery

18:32 system. This is known to the Council, this is known to everyone. Daniel, and they say absolutely nothing, because it was approved by the Municipal Council of Cócuta a master plan of sewage aqueduct where from the year two thousand eight they took away their obligations through a document Daniel. The contract says that the operator partner undertakes to maintain its composition to the fifty- one percent floenna. There are none today. They set up a company called Transivic with ten million pesos. Daniel and Look, what I' m going to tell you to land. Eight days after starting the company in Bogotá, they created it with ten million pesos. It' s called Transibittar. They arrived in Cúcuta and made the session of the contract and went to the Colpatria Bank and took out a loan of fifty billion pesos and hired Bergel and Castilians. He hired contransibi works that are themselves, for forty- nine billion pesos and advanced him to the silver to do the works that are not there today because they are stealing the silver and do not charge them to the Cucuteños through the tariff.

19:48 And those works, Daniel, that we were charged and that are the minutes, there is the statement of the official who was part of the intervention and that it was up to him to withdraw for seeing all the corruption and that he is willing, Daniel, and of what I say to them, is willing to declare to him before the prosecution and with Jaime we ask that they call him and call him because he wants to declare and say everything that is happening around capital waters and with the participation of the interventionary and the ex- contractor. That' s what' s happening today in Cúcuta, Daniel, that' s kind of gorosome way to tell you they created companies in Panama that are themselves, a society. Sir with one I have to say here that I checked corporate documents in Panama and, obviously, what Mr Palacios says is so. Transibic is a subsidiary of vergel and castellanos, that is, in a rare operation, they end up opening a subsidiary to give it a contract to provide public services and to guarantee a credit, where finally the users of the public service end up being the guarantors of a credit for a company of private interest. The person who is telling them these irregularities is called Francisco Palacios and survived the bullets of the Sicario a few weeks ago his fellow investigator

21:22 who was carrying out this and other investigations on corruption in northern Santander and Cúcuta. Jaime Vazquez had been killed weeks before. The prosecutor who was running the investigation for that murder. Jaime Vázquez' s name is Elvin Carvajal, he put the gunman in jail, but he was transferred from the unit and removed from the case for security, since before that trial he had received repeated threats against his life. They don' t seem to be related to this case, because I had received them. Before having the record of the murder of Jaime Vázquez for a variation in assignment, prosecutor Edwin Carvajal was replaced by prosecutor Willington Ortiz, delegate to the criminal judges of the Bogotá circuit. The concern is that the investigation into the murder of Jaime Vázquez will remain in the executioner and will not reach those who gave the order to murder. Thank you very much to Dr Palacios. There' s a bonus track. This weekend, the gep sent you a letter that you can see from this moment on the ULEU page. According to this communication, the heab is not charged against him as chief of the military Salvator and Mancuso and therefore does not object to his being imprisoned. We' ll finally see if it comes out of the pillory today. This was today' s Colonel report. Thank you very much.
