This Tuesday, The Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic of Colombia issued a $33,758 million tax liability ruling against Andrés Botero, former director of ColdeportesLuis Hernando Rodríguez, the former mayor of Ibagué, and two former officials of the Municipal Institute for Sports and Recreation of Ibagué.
The measure arises in response to the embezzlement that occurred in the works and adaptations during the 2015 Ibagué National Games. At that time, Coldeportes, sheltered today in the Ministry of Sports, invested 258,910 million pesos for the development of the competition. Of which, as investigated by the Comptroller, would have been lost about 66,000 million.
According to the supervisory body, those sanctioned would have been aware of the delays and did not take action in this regard.
“The patrimonial damage was caused by the execution of the work contract No. 119 of 2015, signed with the Temporary Union Parque Deportivo Ibagué 2015 by the Municipal Mayor’s Office of Ibagué, through the Municipal Institute for Sport and Recreation of Ibagué, in which recognized payments for unfinished works, amounts of works paid and not executed, constructive and quality deficiencies of the Sports Park scenarios”reported the Comptroller in a statement.
The embezzlement of the 2015 National Games
As recorded by EL TIEMPO at the time, Unfinished works, defective materials and constructions that do not look anything like those that were contracted are part of the podium of corruption in the works of the XX National Sports Games and the IV Paranationals, which took place at the end of 2015 in Tolima and Chocó.
By then, the delays in the works meant that, during the National Games, several of the disciplines had to be practiced in other cities. The chaos in those fairs was one of the great moles of the administration of Andrés Botero in Coldeportes.
To date, the former president of the Colombian Olympic Committee had not received any sanction for his alleged responsibility in what happened. However, there is the possibility of filing reversal and appeal resources once the notification is given.
