The state body decided to initiate a “preliminary investigation against the General,” according to a resolution released on Tuesday.
The Colombian Constitution prohibits active uniformed officers from voting, as well as from deliberating or intervening in political activities.
If evidence is found, the Attorney General’s Office could open a firm investigation and impose disciplinary sanctions on the officer, such as suspension from his position.
On Friday, Zapateiro reproached Gustavo Petro for his reaction to an attack against uniformed men and his subsequent accusations about alleged links between officers and the gang he led. ‘Othniel’the drug lord who is being extradited to the United States after his capture last year.
In several of his posts on Twitter, the military chief stated that the left-wing candidate wanted to take advantage of the recent death of soldiers at the hands of the Clan del Golfo.
“Senator, do not use your investiture (with parliamentary immunity) to pretend to play politics with the death of our soldiers,” Zapateiro demanded.
At the same time, he alluded to a controversy that in the past involved Petro, and demanded “respect” for the army.
His statements caused alarm among the political sectors of Colombia campaigning for the alleged constitutional violation, and further heated the spirits ahead of the May 29 election.
However, the president Ivan Duke he openly supported the general in his controversy with the left-wing candidate.
Gustavo Petro, who fought the State until the end of the 1980s before signing peace, leads the voting intentions in several polls, but the support would not be enough for him to prevail in the first round in Colombia, so it should be measured in a ballot June 19, probably with Federico Gutiérrez, the candidate of the right-wing forces and second in opinion polls.
