Colombia: Santos splashed in Brazilian Car Wash
Colombian president denies links to corruption scandal
COLOMBIAN President Juan Manuel Santos was ensnared on Tuesday in the massive corruption scandal rocking Brazil.
Colombian Attorney General Nestor Humberto Martinez said Brazilian firm Odebrecht paid up to £800,000 to Mr Santos’s election campaign in 2014.
The money was allegedly channelled to Mr Santos by Otto Bula, a former senator for the Liberal Party, founded by former president Alvaro Uribe — the chief opponent of last year’s peace deal with communist rebels.
