    Summary
    -------

    ¶1. (S) Although he cannot evade responsibility for presiding
    for thirty-three months over an institution polluted by
    corruption, Prosecutor General ("Fiscal") Luis Camilo Osorio
    has followed through on his promise to remove officials who
    fail polygraph exams or are otherwise suspected of
    corruption.  He has also responded quickly to specific
    Embassy information on corrupt officials.  Several former
    officials have fought back in the press.  Based on evidence
    of corruption, much of which was discovered and provided to
    Osorio by the Embassy, we lend little credence to these
    officials' attempts to defend themselves.  Osorio must
    continue to apply strict standards of institutional rectitude
    and empower his new internal anti-corruption unit with the
    authority, resources, and independence needed to do its job.
    From the USG's perspective, ensuring the unit's integrity is
    imperative.  End Summary.

    -------------------------------------
    Osorio Removes Suspected Prosecutors
    -------------------------------------

    ¶2. (S) On April 12, Prosecutor General ("Fiscal") Luis Camilo
    Osorio announced the dismissal of Luis Fernando Torres,
    former director of the Anti-Narcotics and Maritime
    Interdiction Unit (UNAIM) at the Office of the Prosecutor
    General ("Fiscalia").  Torres tested "inconclusive" on a
    recent polygraph exam administered by FBI specialists, and
    then refused to take another.  Osorio also dismissed Alvaro
    Bayona, an UNAIM prosecutor suspected of tampering with
    evidence against reputed narcotrafficker Leonidas Vargas,
    alias "El Viejo."  Bayona, who reported to Torres, is accused
    of "losing" five sensitive files containing key evidence
    against Vargas and his criminal organization.  Bayona claims
    he was fired because he was about to call for an
    investigation against Colonel Oscar Naranjo, director of the
    Colombian National Police's (CNP) Office of Judicial Police
    (DIJIN).  Bayona has not presented any evidence, and the
    Embassy has no information that would support his claim that
    Naranjo is corrupt.  Both Torres and Bayona have also
    publicly accused Osorio of removing them to stop their
    investigations of narcotraffickers.  We lend little credence
    to these allegations; Osorio's decision to dismiss both men
    occurred after we urged that they be removed.

    ¶3. (S) On April 15, Osorio fired two more UNAIM prosecutors
    Omaira Gomez and Efren Anibal Garcia.  Gomez, who authored
    a letter published in the press criticizing the polygraph
    process (ref A), is accused of inexplicably dismissing eleven
    cases against criminal organizations.  Gomez was not included
    in the recent polygraphs because she recently passed one.
    Garcia, who failed the polygraph, is suspected of conspiring
    with Torres to help two individuals evade extradition, which
    one successfully achieved.  On April 16, the Fiscalia
    announced the dismissal of Hayde Lopez, an investigator in
    the Fiscalia's National Anti-Corruption Unit (not to be
    confused with the newly proposed internal anti-corruption
    unit).  These dismissals bring to at least seven the number
    of senior Fiscalia officials recently removed for corruption.
     In addition, Osorio has removed many mid-level officials,
    such as sixteen prosecutors and investigators in Cali, Valle
    del Cauca department, who were suspected of colluding with
    paramilitaries and narcotraffickers.

    ¶4. (S) On April 26, Emboffs spoke with Osorio to recommend
    that another five UNAIM prosecutors -- Jesus Albeiro Yepes,
    Carlos Ivan Mejia, Gladys Sofia Bautista, Dario Serrano, and
    Luz Marina Gutierrez -- and one assistant -- Luz Estela
    Encizo -- be dismissed.  The Embassy had credible derogatory
    information on all six.  Emboffs also asked that two
    prosecutors fired earlier by Torres -- Maria Cristina Munoz
    and Mery Estela Gorzon (strictly protect both) -- be
    reinstated.  Osorio dismissed the six suspect UNAIM officials
    and rehired Munoz and Gorzon that same evening.

    ------------------------------------
    Progress on the Anti-Corruption Unit
    ------------------------------------

    ¶5. (S) Osorio is continuing polygraphs and pushing for
    investigations of suspect officials.  Contrary to some public
    criticisms, Osorio has not relied solely on polygraph results
    in making decisions to remove prosecutors.  For example, he
    has dismissed some officials who passed the exam -- such as
    Gomez -- based on other compelling evidence of misconduct.
    In addition, Osorio has ordered the creation of an
    investigative/prosecutorial commission to look into
    allegations of corruption.

    ¶6. (S) In an April 5 meeting with Osorio, the Ambassador
    emphasized that, in order for the USG to continue its
    assistance to the Fiscalia, it was imperative that members of
    the new internal anti-corruption unit be polygraphed, and
    that all officials from throughout the Fiscalia who do not
    pass the polygraph be removed from USG-assisted units and
    programs (ref B).  Osorio agreed to both these conditions.
    (The Embassy has been polygraphing Fiscalia officials in
    these programs since 2000, and Osorio has been supportive of
    the process.  However, he has not always been diligent in
    follow-up investigations.)  On April 23 Osorio spoke again
    with the Ambassador to review the actions he has already
    instituted, and those he is considering taking.

    -------------
    Further Steps
    -------------

    ¶7. (S) The atmosphere in the press and the Fiscalia itself is
    tense.  The dismissals and new lie detector requirements are
    producing a flood of protests, accusations, and self-serving
    statements, most aimed at Osorio.  The Embassy will continue
    -- in private -- to insist that Osorio remove and prosecute
    corrupt officials, in addition to establishing an internal
    anti-corruption unit that is itself polygraphed.  Osorio
    recognizes that more needs to be done.  He approached the
    Ambassador about further polygraphs (the Embassy will
    assist).  He seems ready to continue to relieve corrupt
    officials.  End Comment.
