To gain access to her calls, a false police report was allegedly used to link the nanny to organised crime — none less than the notorious Gulf Clan drug cartel, Attorney General Francisco Barbosa told a press conference on Thursday. Petro said on Friday Sarabia and Benedetti"are withdrawing" from their posts pending the investigation.
Sarabia has put the amount at $7,000."I felt kidnapped, stunned..." Meza told a journalist in a newspaper interview that fired up social media and unleashed the investigation that has turned a domestic quarrel into a political embarrassment.Sarabia told journalists Benedetti had set her up by introducing her to Meza, and blackmailed her into supporting his bid for the post of defence minister in exchange for making the nanny's newspaper interview disappear.
