Escaf and Díaz Morales deny allegations and launch legal counter-actions

Colombian Senator Agmeth Escaf of the Pacto Histórico has announced he will file criminal charges for libel and slander following accusations made by former advisor Eva Ferrer. Escaf denied all allegations linking him to drug trafficking, corruption, or arms smuggling, characterizing the claims as personal vendettas lacking evidentiary support.

In Mexico, Deputy Elpidio Díaz Morales has denied extortion allegations made by directors of Parque Industrial JINT. Instead, Díaz Morales accused the industrial park of defrauding 38 unionized workers of approximately 9.5 million pesos. The dispute involves unpaid services rendered since 2017, with workers alleging that the company attempted to evade legal payments through simulated property transfers.
