Murcia charged with money laundering


After a Bogotá judge initially rejected the indictment against DMG director David Murcia, the Prosecution was able to formulate the charges correctly and indict Murcia for money laundering.

To support the charges, the Prosecution presented several recorded phone conversations to support as evidence that DMG in fact was a criminal company and pyramid scheme laundering money for drug cartels.

Murcia meanwhile released an 18-point statement wherein he announced he is in the process of restarting his commercial activities in both Colombia and abroad. This new company, fronted by his foreign partner Alex Ventura, would open offices andshops in several countries according to the same formula as DMG.

DMG is accused of having defrauded 200,000 Colombians.
