The document held by this newspaper also demands: It determines the authority that requires it, the location of the investigation, the facts under investigation, the parties involved, and the current state of the judicial process.
Monsalve stated in his networks and EL TIEMPO that the case in Venezuela is part of a conspiracy against him to investigate powerful businessmen close to the Prosecutor’s leadership.

According to the file, Liesel Paola Florez Mora, the 100th Prosecutor appointed to the Bogotá Supreme Court, is the person requesting information in the case against Monsalve over allegations of misconduct and procedural fraud.
“In the fulfillment of the request Mutual Assistance in International Criminal Matters was achieved as a result of the following proceedings:

Following the request, an email was received on 31 July from the SAIME Liaison Office of the Investigative Unit. This came to light after Monsalve requested information on Scientific, Criminal and Criminalistics (CICPC) and process for which full identification form was obtained.:
“It was possible to verify that there was an arrest warrant in force against citizen Angélica María Monsalve de Salazar and that she was brought before the Fourteenth Court of the First Instance of Control Functions (149) (sic) on 25 April 2014. Criminal Justice Department of Caracas Metropolitan Region has requested a preventive deprivation of liberty measure against a broadly identified citizen for alleged crimes of theft and Fraud‘, says prosecutor Sánchez.

And he adds: “On the same date, the aforementioned judicial body agreed to issue an arrest warrant for the citizen of Marras on the allegation that the crimes described were committed.
The Venezuelan authority also states that “The validity of the Arrest Warrant request has been verified because it was requested before the Fourteenth Court on 4 July 2016” (149) Publication of Interpol’s red notice of First Degree in Control Functions of the Criminal Judiciary Department of the Caracas Metropolitan Area, against the citizen who made a comment“.
Official information regarding the facts under investigation indicates that a complaint was received through the company’s distribution system on 14 November 2012. Chief Judicial District Attorney for the Caracas Metropolitan Region, presented by citizen Hamid Fazel for allegedly committing crimes of qualified embezzlement, fraud and money laundering.

“If it is clear that the established case-law responds to requests made by the authorities of the Republic of Colombia, the request for Assistance is deemed to have been fulfilled, and the original request has been submitted, by fully fulfilling the Request for Assistance. Be sure to review it,” says prosecutor Sánchez.
For Monsalve, the process in Venezuela is part of his fictions.
In his dialogue with EL TIEMPO he stated a month ago: “Martín Manjarrés, one of my defendants, said that the lawyers asked for money for me and that the Prosecutor’s Office activated the judicial apparatus against me without evidence. They wanted my head too, they’re doing a judicial installation in Venezuela“.
And he stated that he had not been notified a few minutes ago and that he did not believe the Prosecutor’s Office.
“I have not received a notification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Prosecutor’s Office, and I do not believe the Prosecutor’s Office. All this is persecution against me. I even asked the Colombian Ambassador to Venezuela, Milton Renkfo, if there were any requests, but they didn’t tell me anything about it.“.
And he added: “This document wouldn’t have mattered, because if it were real I’d been caught since 2012 or 2013, I wasn’t hiding. They even did a security check on me at the prosecutor’s office, which is something to consider.” clouding the financial situation”.
Moreover, He sent a certificate to EL TIEMPO that he had not recorded any records from the Venezuelan justice system.
“If this document was official the embassy should have informed me, even this content can be labeled as wrong because without the apostille the information might be wrong. “They’re issuing arrest warrants for everyone in Venezuela, but I didn’t commit any crime,” Monsalve said.
He also said: “I heard a complaint from Hamid Fazel, he is a malicious Israeli, I was his lawyer in 2011 and he accused me of fraud, it’s not fraud, my attorney fee is $200,000. I even submitted power of attorney as evidence. He’s a criminal, even if the Venezuelan government has accused him.”
“I have never been accused and I will never be accused because there is no reason. The crimes I was allegedly charged with in Venezuela had already been determinedso there is neither a blue nor a red alert. It’s not my fault because these are my fees. This is cruelty,” said Monsalve.
