The mayor of Soledad, Rodolfo Ucrós Rosales, is in the sights of the watchdogs for the alleged invasion of land in that municipality in the Atlantic. Recently it became known that the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation opened an investigation against the local president.

Mayor Ucros would not be the only one involved in this irregularity being investigated by the Public Prosecutor's Office. Six other municipality officials, including two police inspectors and a former Soledad notary, would also be involved in an alleged invasion of the Los Angeles estate.

The other persons who were investigated by the Attorney General's Office are: the Secretary of Government, Samir Guillermo Serrat Brango; the Police Inspectors, Edward Enrique Galindo Argel and Marlon José Mora Montesino; the former registrar of public instruments, David de Castro Macías; the former notary first in charge of Soledad, Andrés Felipe Altamar Barrios; and the former official of the same notary, Martha Luz Rojas Zambrano.

According to the watchdog, this investigation seeks to establish what control actions were put in place by the Mayor's Office of Soledad to prevent the invasion of the aforementioned lands.

As part of this process, the Attorney General's Office reported that not only were the properties occupied in an apparently illegal manner, but that at least 43 sales deeds would have been issued without complying with the requirements established for this type of process.

The watchdog also assured that with this investigation it opened against the mayor of Soledad and six other officials of the municipality, it is sought to determine whether documents from public records had been falsified or irregularities in the titling of the property had been presented, during the proceedings carried out before the Public Registry Office and the First Notary of Soledad, Atlántico.

Prosecutor's Office investigates scam against families who bought at the property 'Los Angeles'

It should be recalled that in November last year the Attorney General's Office opened an investigation into the alleged fraud suffered by at least 50 families who, with deception, bought land on this property for between eight and twelve million pesos.

This investigation began after the complaint of a couple of older adults, who claimed that armed men allegedly under police protection, arrived at their 12-hectare land, illegally appropriated it and subsequently began to delimit it it in at least 4,500 lots. It should be noted that the land did not have a lot or construction license.

Those lots were those that were sold to other citizens with false promises of purchase and sale, for which today both the mayor of Soledad and six other officials of that municipality of the Atlantic are being investigated.
