EL TIEMPO established exclusively that for intelligence agents it is clear that Pecci had been followed from Asunción. For this reason, they have already requested the passenger list of the flight in which they arrived in Colombia, by the Copa airline.

Local sources told EL TIEMPO that Nobody in Paraguay had warned about the official’s visit, its importance and high risk. Not even the police knew that he had been in Cartagena for three days.

This newspaper confirmed that US federal agents are going to be part of the investigation.

In addition, it is being verified if hitmen were subcontracted in Colombia or if the assassins came from the official’s country of origin. The attack that claimed the life of the prosecutor and that would have left a security guard injured, occurred in White beach.
