Who is Diana Patricia Bravo, a member of De la Espriella's legal team who is part of the defense of Alex Saab, just like Abelardo de la Espriella, the head of the team? Today they ask that his financial and tax gaps not be politically exploited. But how can Alex Saab's defender in the U.S. return Alex Saab's assets under the presidency of the republic, which is the Head of State? If the legal team led by Abelardo de la Espriella worked in the defense of criminals and drug traffickers in the U.S., how can one of these lawyers head the entity where precisely all the seized assets of their defendants are, and they want them to be returned, as publicly stated by Mr. Juan Fernando Alvarez Meyerndoff, trying to use me as a bargaining chip to recover their assets worth 700 million dollars? I gave a clear directive in my government: the assets of the mafia go, if they are rural, to the peasantry, and if they are suburban and urban, to public universities and cooperatives for victims of violence. They talk about not politicizing, but how can it be explained that Diana Patricia Bravo, as a prosecutor in Barranquilla, a prosecutor's office dominated by Char, raids three venues of the Historical Pact in the second round looking for money with which we were accused of vote-buying from a foreign government, and any Colombian knows perfectly well who buys votes in Barranquilla.

🔴 LAST MINUTE: MARINA DEL PILAR THREATENS TO SAY “WHAT SHE KNOWS”; Someone there tells me that after today documents were revealed showing that the Governor still appears as a shareholder of one of the companies identified by the US Treasury as money laundering for the Sinaloa cartel, it was recommended to Sheinbaum that the governor request a leave of absence, however, the governor has threatened to say what she knows if National Palace asks her to request “leave,” so now they will also have to protect her, this already seems like “rebellion on the farm.” (translated)

You mentioned that @SuomenPoliisi prohibited you from discussing matters related to the investigation. Did the police explain what this prohibition is based on? According to Section 5 of Chapter 11 of the Preliminary Investigation Act, a prohibition must be given in writing and formally communicated. It must specify the subject of the prohibition, the duration of the prohibition, and the potential penalties. The prohibition can only relate to matters that have come to light in the investigation, which do not concern the prohibited person themselves and which they did not previously know. Moreover, their disclosure must additionally be able to complicate the investigation or cause harm or disadvantage to someone. What was such a matter in this case? The investigation concerns a message that has already been published. The suspect's own suspicion of a crime, their own message, and what the police have reported regarding their status concern the suspect themselves. The prohibition does not extend to them, nor does Paragraph 2 of Section 23 of the Publicity Act, which only pertains to confidential information regarding other individuals obtained as parties involved. The police must also clarify the content of the confidentiality obligation (ETL 11:6). Was that done? If the police prohibited the recording of the interrogation or the publication of its content, what is the legal basis for the restriction, and what information does it pertain to? If the suspect cannot record, will the police record it themselves? The interrogation must be recorded when the method of its conduct should be able to be verified later (ETL 9:3). In this matter, the basis is evident. The suspect has the right to remain silent. You can refuse to answer until the binding nature, basis, and scope of the prohibition have been clarified (and, of course, otherwise as well). You do not have to guess the limits of an ambiguous prohibition. The police do not need to allow the publication of all material in advance. But if an authority claims that revealing information is punishable, the basis and subject of the prohibition must be specified. If it was a request, it should not be presented as an obligation, and such a request can always be met with a mocking belly laugh. (translated)

No one asks to intervene in the housing market on a whim. It is asked because there are families that cannot make ends meet, and that deserves respect, not contempt. But what worries me is the diagnosis. If the problem is that there are not enough houses, and it is, the measures that... (translated)

The press conference today clarified the suspicions related to parliamentarians' homes. According to Speaker Halla-aho, there is a significant number of cases. It is suspected that residences have been entered in the absence of the representatives. No signs of forced entry have been found, and nothing has been stolen, but traces have been left in the homes. The suspicions involve members of different parties, and the first case may go back as far as a year. There is currently no confirmed information about the perpetrator or motive. The background may involve criminal activity, harassment or stalking targeted at individual politicians, domestic extremist groups, or the actions of a foreign state. Not all reported cases may necessarily be related to each other. Now, it is the police's task to distinguish real intrusions from other observations and investigate possible connections between them. The possibility of a state actor must still be taken seriously. An especially interesting detail is the marks left in the homes. If the intention were solely to obtain information secretly, a successful intrusion would fundamentally be attempted to be concealed. If, instead, traces are deliberately left behind, being noticed may itself be part of the operation. In that case, intelligence is combined with psychological influence. Such methods are known in the history of Russian security services. There have been intrusions into the homes of diplomats, officials, and other individuals deemed interesting, with deliberate traces left behind. This does not prove anything about the perpetrators of these cases. It indicates why the possibility of a foreign state’s action must be thoroughly investigated. If it ultimately turns out to be state influence, the selection of targets would in itself be significant. Parliamentarians decide on Finland's defense policy, NATO cooperation, support for Ukraine, relations with Russia, and numerous other decisions in which foreign states may have strong interests. Coercion does not have to mean an attempt to change one vote in a single ballot. The aim could also be to gather information, map networks and vulnerabilities, or generate uncertainty about whether the consequences of political decisions extend to an individual's own home and loved ones. That is why Finland now needs a more open discussion about the kind of foreign intelligence, influence, and pressure directed at it. Confidential information should not be disclosed, but Finns should have a realistic understanding of the security environment in which we live and whether its change requires anything from decision-makers, companies, or ordinary people. And above all, keep a cool head. If the purpose of such acts turns out to be to generate fear and uncertainty in Finland, that is precisely the effect that should not be allowed. Serious suspicions will be investigated, efforts will be made to identify the perpetrators, and appropriate action will be taken if necessary. Finland's decisions will continue to be made in Finland, without fear and pressure. (translated)

The minimum sanction from the JEP was not enough for him after decades of kidnapping, recruitment, and terror. Now Timochenko, the same guerrilla leader, asks for more bodyguards as if he were a head of state. Six trucks are not enough for him. In the JEP, everything is disproportionate: little punishment for the offender and privileges paid for by the victims. (translated)
