BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Wednesday, March 2, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). The Minister of Justice, Wilson Ruiz, spoke about the Carlos Mattos case and the decisions taken in this situation after the investigation revealed by Noticias Caracol and that shows several exits of the businessman from La Picota prison in Bogotá.
The departures were supposedly for health reasons, but the images show that Mattos, involved in two cases of judicial corruption, in which he offered money to judicial officials to favor decisions to continue leading the monopoly of the sale of Hyundai cars in Colombia, He did not go to jail, but instead traveled to other places and even walked without his Inpec guard.
“I have given precise instructions to the Vice Minister of Criminal Policy so that he is in charge of the actions in La Picota, because we are not going to tolerate more acts of corruption as serious as those that have been occurring in that detention center,” Ruiz said.
In that sense, he added that Colonel Juaquín Medrano was appointed as director in charge of La Picota.

Through a symbolic burial, residents of Ciudad Jardín staged a protest to draw attention to insecurity in the city.
For this they created a small cemetery in which they lamented the ‘burial’ of tranquility, security and justice, which according to the protesters must be recovered. Everything was accompanied with candles and white flowers.

“We want to tell the Mayor that Cali needs security. We want to tell the judicial system that Cali needs the rules to be followed and to do their job because we cannot continue as we are”, expressed Martha Atehortúa, spokeswoman for the demonstration.
He also lamented the situation that the city is experiencing, which he considers a “go back in time”, which is why he asks the authorities to act more firmly. Atehortúa stressed that the demonstration not only included residents of Ciudad Jardín, but also of Pance and surrounding areas.
Symbolically, residents of southern Cali protested the insecurity situation in the city.

Also present at the demonstration was the candidate for Congress, Gustavo Orozco, who called on the mayor of Cali, Jorge Iván Ospina, to “support the right of citizens to be calm and to have security.”
He demanded of the judicial system “that there be no impunity, specifically for people who destroy, frighten and commit crimes… that they pay. We need, among other things, that the people who participated in the destruction of Cali from the front line be condemned.”
The Biden administration has released a screening tool to help identify disadvantaged communities long plagued by environmental hazards, but it won’t include race as a factor in deciding where to devote resources.
Administration officials told reporters Friday that excluding race will make projects less likely to draw legal challenges and will be easier to defend, even as they acknowledged that race has been a major factor in terms of who experiences environmental injustice.
The decision was harshly challenged by members of the environmental justice community.
“It’s a major disappointment and it’s a major flaw in trying to identify those communities that have been hit hardest by pollution,” said Robert Bullard, a professor of urban planning and environmental policy at Texas Southern University in Houston and a member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
President Joe Biden has made combating climate change a priority of his administration and pledged in a sweeping executive order to “deliver environmental justice in communities all across America.” The order, signed his first week in office, sets a goal that the 40% of overall benefits from climate and environment investments would go to disadvantaged communities. The tool is a key component for carrying out that so-called Justice40 Initiative.
Brenda Mallory, chair of the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality, said the tool will help direct federal investments in climate, clean energy and environmental improvements to communities “that have been left out and left behind for far too long.”
Catherine Coleman Flowers, a member of the advisory council who served on a working group that gave the Biden administration recommendations for the tool, said she agrees with the move to exclude race as an indicator.
She said that this tool is a good start that hopefully will improve with time and that it’s better than creating a tool that includes race as a factor and then gets struck down by the Supreme Court. She said, “race is a factor, but race isn’t the only factor.”
“Being marginalized in other ways is a factor,” she said.
The screening tool uses 21 factors, including air pollution, health outcomes and economic status, to identify communities that are most vulnerable to environmental and economic injustice.
But the omission of race as a factor goes against a deep body of scientific research showing that race is the greatest determinant of who experiences environmental harm, environmental justice experts pointed out.
“This was a political decision,” said Sacoby Wilson, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. “This was not a scientific decision or a data-driven decision.” Wilson has studied the distribution of environmental pollutants and helped develop mapping tools like the one the Council on Environmental Quality released Friday.
This isn’t the first such tool to exist in the United States, or even in the federal government. California, Maryland, Michigan and New Jersey have had tools like this for years. And the Environmental Protection Agency has a similar tool, EJ Screen. Many of those screening tools include some information about the racial makeup of communities along with environmental and health data.
The public has 60 days to use the tool and provide feedback on it. The Council on Environmental Quality also announced Friday that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine are working on launching a study of existing tools.
When relatives of American oil executives jailed in Venezuela met virtually with a senior Justice Department official this month, it didn’t take long for their frustrations to surface.
They pressed the official on the prospects of a prisoner exchange that could get their loved ones home but were told that was ultimately a White House decision and not something the U.S. government was generally inclined to do anyway. And they vented about the extradition to the U.S. of an associate of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, an action that inflamed tensions with Caracas and resulted in the American captives being returned to jail from house arrest that day.
The meeting, not previously reported and described by a person who participated in it, ended without firm commitments. But it underscored the simmering frustrations directed by some hostage and detainee families toward the Justice Department, an agency they see as unwilling to think creatively about ways to bring their relatives home from abroad and stubbornly resistant to the possibility of exchanging prisoners.
“The question remains of how to get the Department of Justice to fully engage in the process of recovering hostages and wrongful detainees,” said Everett Rutherford, whose nephew, Matthew Heath, is being held in Venezuela on what the Tennessee man’s family says are bogus weapons charges. “And there hasn’t yet been an answer given to that yet — except for the fact that we’ve been told that the president himself can direct them to do so.”
The Justice Department isn’t typically thought of as a lead agency in hostage matters. The State Department, after all, has diplomatic tools at its disposal and is home to the government’s chief hostage negotiator, while the Pentagon has authority to launch military raids to free hostages from captivity. The three agencies’ interests aren’t always necessarily in sync on hostage issues, which can be overshadowed by broader national security or diplomatic concerns — or, in the case of the Justice Department, what the government thinks is best for holding criminals accountable.
The Justice Department said in a statement that it “recognizes that families are put in an extraordinarily difficult circumstance, with unimaginable pain” when Americans are wrongfully detained and that it works with other federal agencies to bring them home in a manner consistent with the government’s “no-concessions” policy in hostage matters.
From the U.S. government’s perspective, a prisoner swap risks creating a false equivalency between a wrongfully detained American and a justly convicted felon, and could also encourage additional captures by foreign countries.
Mickey Bergman, who as vice president of the Richardson Center for Global Engagement has worked on hostage cases, said he’s heard that argument but thinks “the framing is wrong.”
“Because it’s not about the guilty people that get released, it’s about the innocent Americans that come back home,” Bergman said. “And so I reverse the question and say: Is leaving … innocent Americans to rot in prisons around the world worth the insistence of us having criminals, foreign criminals, serve their full time in the American system?”
The issue is newly relevant as several countries or groups holding Americans, including Russia and the Taliban, have floated the names of prisoners in the U.S. they want released.
The families’ frustration is less with current political leadership of the Justice Department than with the nature of the institution itself, an agency that across administrations has prioritized its independence and its prerogative to make prosecutorial decisions and sentencing recommendations free from political considerations. The instinct is crucial for democracy, but it can also result in actions that hostage families see as dismissive of their interests.
The October extradition to Miami of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, presented by U.S. officials as a close Maduro associate, agitated relatives of six Citgo executives who’ve been jailed for years in Venezuela over a never-executed plan to refinance billions in the oil company’s bonds. It was a tension point in this month’s Justice Department call and in a December meeting between hostage families and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, though the situation may be complicated by the revelation this week that Saab was signed up by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as a source in 2018.
The reticence to swaps predates the Biden administration, and some of the deals the families seek didn’t gain traction under former President Donald Trump, either. Even so, there is a precedent for arrangements that serve a diplomatic purpose.

The Trump administration, seen as more willing to flout convention in hostage affairs, brought home Navy veteran Michael White in 2020 in an agreement that spared an American-Iranian doctor prosecuted by the Justice Department any more time behind bars and that permitted him to return to Iran. Even before then, the Obama administration pardoned or dropped charges against seven Iranians in a prisoner exchange tied to the nuclear deal with Tehran. Three jailed Cubans were sent home in 2014 as Havana released American Alan Gross after five years’ imprisonment.
There are roughly 60 Americans known to be held hostage or wrongfully detained, a definition that covers Americans believed innocent or jailed for the purpose of exacting concessions from the U.S.
Families of at least some see fresh opportunities to cut deals.

The Taliban, whose Haqqani network is believed to be holding hostage Navy veteran Mark Frerichs of Illinois, has told the U.S. it seeks the release of imprisoned drug lord Bashir Noorzai. Russia has locked up Marine veteran Trevor Reed, sentenced to nine years on charges he assaulted police officers in Moscow, and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan, imprisoned on espionage charges. Officials there have floated at various times the names of citizens it would like home, including international arms dealer Viktor Bout and drug smuggler Konstantin Yaroshenko, both imprisoned in the U.S.
The U.S. considers Whelan and Reed to be wrongfully detained.
Nine Americans, including Heath and the so-called Citgo 6, are detained in Venezuela at a time when the U.S. is holding two nephews of Venezuela’s first lady on drug charges.
Some hostage and detainee families say they’re heartened by the access they’ve had to senior administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Sullivan. But the resistance to a trade has remained constant.
Charlene Cakora, Frerichs’ sister, met with White House and Justice Department officials last August and says she was told that Noorzai, a convicted Afghan drug lord, was a “bad guy.” She said in an interview that if the government won’t “trade for my brother, then I want to know what other ideas are out there.”
Joey Reed holds photos of his son Marine veteran and Russian prisoner Trevor Reed at his home in Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 15, 2022.
Paula Reed and Joey Reed, Trevor’s parents, say U.S. officials have told them that they’d seek the same outcome if they were their shoes. But though the Granbury, Texas, couple has urged Justice Department officials during meetings to seek a deal now, the officials have said only that they’re “considering everything,” said Paula Reed.
“They didn’t say: ‘Oh, we agree with you, that’s a great deal. That’s a good point.’ They didn’t say anything like that. They just said: ‘We hear you. Thank you very much,”‘ she said. “They didn’t give us indication one way or the other.”
Elizabeth Whelan, Paul’s sister, said she’s been grateful for the U.S. government’s attention. She said she’s not entirely sure what Russia wants for her brother and said demands by it and other countries seem “stupid” and “over the top.”
“But,” she added, “I feel my brother is worth whatever Russia is asking for.”

Kim Potter, the former suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her Taser when she fatally shot Daunte Wright, was sentenced Friday to two years in prison, a penalty below state guidelines after the judge found mitigating factors warranted a lesser sentence.
Potter was convicted in December of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist. She was sentenced only on the more serious charge in accordance with state law.
Judge Regina Chu said the lesser sentence was warranted because Potter was “in the line of duty and doing her job in attempting to lawfully arrest Daunte Wright” when she said she mistook her gun for her Taser. And, Chu said, Potter was trying to protect another officer who could have been dragged and seriously injured if Wright drove away.
“This is this is one of the saddest cases I’ve had on my 20 years on the bench,” said Chu, who also said she received “hundred and hundreds” of letters supporting Potter. “On the one hand, a young man was killed and on the other a respected 26-year veteran police officer, made a tragic error by pulling her handgun instead of her Taser.”
Daunte Wright’s parents, Aubrey Wright and Katie Wright, react after former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was sentenced to two years in prison, Feb. 18, 2022 in Minneapolis.
Wright’s mother, Katie Wright, said after the sentencing that Potter “murdered my son,” adding: “Today the justice system murdered him all over again.”
Speaking before the sentence was imposed, the tearful mother said she could never forgive Potter and would only refer to her as “the defendant” because Potter only referred to her 20-year-old son as “the driver” at trial.
“She never once said his name. And for that I’ll never be able to forgive you. And I’ll never be able to forgive you for what you’ve stolen from us,” Wright said.
“A police officer who was supposed to serve and protect so much took so much away from us … My life and my world will never ever be the same again,” she said, adding later: “Daunte Demetrius Wright, I will continue to fight in your name until driving while Black is no longer a death sentence.”
Wright was killed after Brooklyn Center officers pulled him over for having expired license tags and an air freshener hanging from his rear-view mirror. The shooting, which came in the midst of Derek Chauvin’s trial on murder charges in George Floyd’s killing, sparked several days of demonstrations outside the Brooklyn Center police station marked by tear gas and clashes between protesters and police.

Potter was convicted in December of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing. She’ll be sentenced only on the most serious charge of first-degree manslaughter, which carries a presumptive penalty of just over seven years in prison.
Wright family attorney Ben Crump said they don’t understand why such consideration was given to a white officer in the killing of a young Black man when a Black officer, Mohamed Noor, got a longer sentence for the killing of a white woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond.
“What we see today is the legal system in Black and white.”
Attorney Ben Crump, along with the family of Daunte Wright, speaks with the media after former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was sentenced to two years in prison, Feb. 18, 2022, in Minneapolis.
But the judge said the cases are not the same as other high-profile killings by police.
“This is not a cop found guilty of murder for using his knee to pin down a person for 9 1/2 minutes as he gasped for air. This is not a cop found guilty of manslaughter for intentionally drawing his firearm and shooting across his partner and killing an unarmed woman who approached his squad,” Chu said. “This is a cop who made a tragic mistake.”
For someone with no criminal history, such as Potter, the state guidelines on first-degree manslaughter range from slightly more than six years to about 8 1/2 years in prison, with the presumptive sentence being just over seven years.
Prosecutors said the presumptive sentence was proper, but defense attorneys asked for a sentence below the guidelines, including a sentence of probation only.
“His life mattered, and that life was taken,” Prosecutor Matt Frank said before sentencing. “His name is Daunte Wright. We have to say his name. He was not just a driver. He was a living human being. A life.”
Defense attorney Paul Engh told the judge that Wright’s death was “beyond tragic for everybody involved.” But, he added: “This was an unintentional crime. It was an accident. It was a mistake.”
He also said Potter would be willing to meet with Wright’s family and to speak to police officers about Taser mix-ups.
Engh held up a box displaying what he said were among “thousands” of letters and cards of support for Potter.
“People took the time to write her,” Engh said. “This is unheard of for a defendant. I dare say no one in this room has ever seen anything like this.”
Evidence at Potter’s trial showed officers learned he had an outstanding warrant for a weapons possession charge, and they tried to arrest him when he pulled away. Video showed Potter shouted several times that she was going to use her Taser on Wright, but she had her gun in her hand and fired one shot into his chest.
Chu said Potter will serve two-thirds of her sentence, or 16 months in prison, with the rest on parole. She has earned credit for 58 days.
Potter has been at the state’s women’s prison in Shakopee since the guilty verdict. Her attorney said Friday that her mental and physical health has declined because she is isolated for her safety.
Wright’s father and siblings also addressed the court to speak of their loss.
The mother of Wright’s son, Chyna Whitaker, said Friday that Wright would never have a chance to play ball with his son, or see him go to school.
“My son shouldn’t have to wear a ‘rest in peace’ shirt of his dad,” Whitaker said.
The story been corrected to show Potter faces sentencing for first-degree manslaughter, not first-degree murder.
The mother of Sirley Patricia Britothe woman who was strangled, raped and thrown in a hilly area on the outskirts of Riohacha, asks the authorities to clarify the crime so that justice can be done, since her daughter didn’t deserve to die that way.
There are many questions that go through the head of Danitza Brito Sierra, who lives in the municipality of Albania and arrived as soon as she heard the news.
Today he tries to clarify what happened to him? What did she see? And why did she have that death?
(In addition, Video: voracious fire in Bazurto destroyed three commercial premises)
“That this crime does not go unpunished, because my daughter was killed very ugly, that way a human being is not killed, and one woman less, because they did too much evil to my daughter, that is not justified,” she maintains.

Hours later, the city was surprised by the discovery of the body of an unidentified woman at kilometer 6 on the road that connects with Valledupar, about three kilometers from her residence.
The news spread like wildfire and reached the ears of her relatives, who made her a party.
There is a captured
…this person would have had sexual acts with the victim and then murdered her. He tried to hide the fact, but the community gave timely notice of what happened to prosecute him
In a quick action, the authorities captured on Monday in the center of Riohacha José Gregorio Plata González, 25, who is being accused of having promoted death by mechanical asphyxiation and he would be one of those who had gone looking for her.
“Apparently, this person would have had sexual acts with the victim and then murdered her. He tried to hide the fact, but the community gave timely notice of what happened to prosecute him, ”said the Guajira Police command after her capture.
(Also: There is a new millionaire; the Tolima Lottery jackpot fell)
His mother, who has not been able to speak to the authorities about what happened, points out that apparently they are trying to make it appear that it was a case of femicide.
“He says that he was a couple of hers and he was not a couple. He did not live with her, nor did he sleep in her house. Besides, he had his wife in the same neighborhood. Why is he going to say that he did it? He cannot say that he was a femicide because he was not her partner, ”he points out.
Legal medicine opinion
Danitza maintains that the three people who searched for her must know who is responsible for her death.
Although he doesn’t know the legal medicine opinion Officially, those who have been linked to the issue have assured that she apparently received several blows and was raped on multiple occasions.
“The man from the funeral home told me that she had semen from several people, so she was not raped by a single man, several people raped her,” he said.

Danitza was unable to see her daughter, nor to hold a wake for her as is customary, because her body was in an advanced state of decomposition, for which she was buried immediately.
Now she asks for the help of the community to clarify the death of the “Negra”, so that her case does not go unpunished, she assures that her daughter was not bad, she was good and everyone who could help did so.
Sirley, 40, was the eldest of two sisters, leaves four children, three minors and was dedicated to selling food in the new market in Riohacha.

In a symbolic act this Tuesday outside the Palace of Justice in Medellín, relatives and close friends of Miguel Ángel Castellanos Rojas they demanded justice for their case, after two years of being found floating in the river.
The 16-year-old lived in Comuna 13, was a ninth-grade student, a soccer player and belonged to the United Pentecostal Church of Colombia, relatives reported.

“He left home today, exactly two years ago, and did not return, because some people wanted to take his life. He left and in Balcones de la Serranía, these people held him against his will, tortured him, kidnapped him for some hours and finally ended his life,” said Diani Rojas, the young man’s mother.
Human rights defenders and organizations such as Human Rights recalled the young man’s case on Tuesday and asked the authorities to speed up the judicial process, so that justice is done.

“They bury him, twelve days later they dig him up and he appears in the Medellin river, without giving the family the chance to see him, but they did something very cruel to him, they ended his life for no reason, they simply made the decision. We are here crying out for justice, trusting in justice,” said the mother.

Shargh, a newspaper representing the reformist viewpoint, on Sunday published video of a protest by hundreds of men and women in front of parliament in Tehran.
“If our problem is not resolved, we will shut down the justice system!” they chanted.
Another reformist paper, Arman Melli, reported: “Some judicial personnel organized rallies yesterday [Saturday] in most of the country’s cities to protest the rejection of the plan for parliament to increase their salaries.”
The demonstrators held up signs with slogans declaring that “justice workers are unable to support themselves” and decrying the “hypocrisy of the government and parliament.”

“We are concerned about the demand to raise judicial salaries because that would lead to the same thing at other agencies,” he said.
