Colombia Prosecutor summons Cepeda and Corcho campaign officials
The Colombian Prosecutor General's Office has summoned the managers and accountants of the political campaigns for senators Iván Cepeda and Carolina Corcho for questioning. The proceedings, scheduled for September 23 and 24, 2026, are part of an investigation by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Directorate into potential irregularities in the financial reports submitted to the National Electoral Council (CNE) during the Pacto Histórico internal consultation held in October 2025.
Investigators are working to verify if the reported expenses, credits, and contributions align with the actual financial and accounting reality of the campaigns. Specific individuals summoned include Carlos Saúl Garzón Urrea and Sandra Yurany López Cortés for Cepeda's campaign, and Nelson Emiro Linares and a second accountant for Corcho's campaign. The probe also includes scrutiny of a $742 million loan linked to the restaurant Chefcito S.A.S. within Corcho's campaign, amid allegations regarding the legitimacy of its reported contributors.
