The General Prosecutor's Office embargoes three properties belonging to Óscar Iván Zuluaga and his family circle.

The General Prosecutor's Office imposed precautionary measures of embargo and suspended the power of disposition over three properties valued at more than 3,664 million pesos. These assets belong to former presidential candidate Óscar Iván Zuluaga and his family circle. The measures are linked to an investigation into the international financing provided by the Brazilian multinational Odebrecht for the 2014 presidential campaign of Óscar Iván Zuluaga. The investigation indicates that Odebrecht allegedly paid 1,610,740 dollars for advertising services. This contribution was not reported to electoral authorities, which constitutes a prohibited source of financing for political campaigns because it came from a foreign legal entity. The funds were transferred between June and July of 2014 to a company in Panama associated with Brazilian publicist José Eduardo Cavalcanti de Mendonça. The properties subject to the embargo include an apartment and a third of a house in Bogotá, and a property in Pensilvania (Caldas). Some of these properties were donated to family members in June 2023. The measure prevents the assets from being sold or commercialized while the domain extinction process is pending.
