What were the magistrates of the JEP doing in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Chicago, or Miami? Colombians have the right to know the purpose of these trips and how public resources are being used. That's why we will continue to scrutinize the spending of the JEP and demand transparency and accountability. (translated)
Last night, the JEP said that the entity was going to be subjected to bankruptcy with the cut approved by the Economic Commissions. After seeing the travel figures, the question that remains for many of us is whether the concern will be that they will not be able to continue traveling the world as they have been doing these years. In addition to spending $23.963 million on tickets, the JEP has disbursed $32.472 million on per diem and travel expenses for its officials and contractors. Only between 2022 and 2025 (Petro Administration) did this last item grow by 191%. The judicial tourism of this Court, at the national and international level, has cost the country $56.435 million between 2020-2026 and includes destinations such as Miami, Milan, Seville, Madrid, Denver, Chicago, Catania, Houston, Barcelona, Antofagasta, and Paris. While the victims have had to see how the FARC walk freely through the country and are rewarded with congressional seats for 8 years, the officials responsible for administering justice have been dedicated to accumulating miles.

Behind the multimillion-dollar lease contract for the JEP headquarters, there is something that doesn't add up. Even though the construction company GAP SAS, owner of the "Torre Squadra" building, recorded in the deed and the certificate of freedom and tradition in 2020 that the construction cost $20.975 million, the JEP has paid $114.202 million between 2020-2026 for its lease. An average of $16.314 million annually. In other words, with what the JEP has paid for the lease all these years, 5 buildings of this nature could have been purchased. What was the technical justification for opting for a lease instead of a purchase that would have considerably reduced operation costs? Furthermore, the JEP carried out this contracting under private law, that is to say, handpicked, as that was one of the gifts given by the Santos government in Article 118 of the Statutory Law of the JEP. Without any technical justification, the JEP is not required to hold tenders and contracts with whomever it wants. What is behind this multimillion-dollar lease contract? (translated)
Al Presidente de la JEP se le olvida que toda entidad pública debe rendir cuentas por la ejecución del presupuesto, más aún cuando tienen una responsabilidad con el país y las víctimas en un proceso de justicia transicional. Ni más faltaba que ahora la JEP pretenda ser una república independiente que no da explicaciones sobre su gestión, contratación y resultados. ¿Les preocupa tanto que el país conozca cómo han despilfarrado recursos en arriendos, viajes, eventos, salarios y abogados para las Farc? #Transparencia #Justicia #RendiciónDeCuentas
