(Also: Where was Feria, Petro’s head of security, on the day Colonel Dávila died?)
Reason: A security council, which Sarabia had been carrying in her gym bag from the beginning, is being asked to verify whether certain documents were said to have been stolen in addition to the money..
on this heThe former official told the prosecutor’s office this week that the gym bag he was carrying the money in was not stolen.. But in addition to the money, they also received papers that ministers had given to him, which he was going to review.
