Lawyer Julián Quintana has published an image on social media that he claims demonstrates communication between ex-governor Carlos Caicedo and the mother of a minor in the context of an investigation into alleged sexual abuse. Caicedo denies the accusations.
The lawyer Julián Quintana, representative of the alleged victims in the case against former Magdalena governor Carlos Caicedo, has made public supposed conversations that would implicate the politician in the events being investigated. Through his account on social media platform X, Quintana issued a direct challenge: “Shall we continue?”, accompanied by an image that purportedly shows messages sent by Caicedo to the mother of the minor.
Quintana's response to Caicedo's statement
It all began when Carlos Caicedo issued a statement in which he described the accusations as a “new unfounded allegation” and claimed he had not been notified of any judicial action. The former governor denounced a supposed “media condemnation” against him. Hours later, Quintana responded by publishing what he claims are evidences that are already in the possession of the Prosecutor's Office.
In his message, the lawyer wrote: “Mr. Carlos Caicedo, here I leave you one of the many pieces of evidence that the Prosecutor's Office already has. What you wrote to the mother of the minor. Sending messages in disappearing photos, we have them all.” The disseminated image has not been independently verified, and there is no official confirmation of its authenticity from judicial authorities.
The case remains under investigation
The controversy has sparked intense debate in political and legal circles. Meanwhile, the investigation continues under the supervision of the Prosecutor's Office, which has yet to comment on the validity of the evidence provided by Quintana. Caicedo, for his part, maintains his innocence and asserts that the accusations are baseless.
For readers interested in the case, it is important to know that there is no definitive judicial decision and that the presumption of innocence remains in effect. The parties are awaiting the Prosecutor's Office to determine whether the submitted evidence is admissible and whether charges should be filed. The process could take weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the proceedings.
This case recalls other political scandals in Colombia where evidence provided by individuals has been decisive, but also controversial. Independent verification will be key to clarifying the facts.
Meanwhile, public opinion remains attentive to the Prosecutor's Office's next moves and to possible responses from Caicedo. Lawyer Quintana has made it clear that he has more material, suggesting that the case could take new turns in the coming days.
