COLOMBIAN President Juan Manuel Santos was ensnared on Tuesday in the massive corruption scandal rocking Brazil.
Colombian Attorney General Nestor Humberto Martinez said Brazilian firm Odebrecht paid up to £800,000 to Mr Santos’s election campaign in 2014.
The money was allegedly channelled to Mr Santos by Otto Bula, a former senator for the Liberal Party, founded by former president Alvaro Uribe — the chief opponent of last year’s peace deal with communist rebels.
