This weekend a fact was presented that outraged hundreds of Colombians on social networks.
It is about the ‘trap’ that he set for him Julian Osorio, councilor of the Democratic Center in Manizales, to Mr. Carlos Jaime Gutierrez Ibanez, who worked as a driver for the InDriver platform.
Osorio deceived him by posing as another client and made him drive to a checkpoint that the Traffic Police was carrying out in Manizales.
“I collaborate with him by telling him (the police officer) that you have been providing me with an InDriver service. And that you are providing an illegal service. That is the collaboration that I can do. That this is not allowed in Colombia and much less in Manizales. This city is respected here, my friend,” says Osorio in a video that he himself recorded and shared.

For his part, Don Carlos has spoken about what happened and commented that “he made me confiscate the car. The car is in the patios and it was the only livelihood I had (…) I felt cheated, I felt humiliated and powerless faced with the situation of seeing that I couldn’t do anything”.

The councilor also apologized, “We ask Don Carlos for a public apology for having made it viral on social networks, but we cannot hide behind the fact that what is legal has to hide behind what is illegal”.
