Court orders forfeiture of property linked to René Higuita over alleged drugs trafficking connections
A judicial decision has ordered the forfeiture of a real estate property with an alleged connection to José René Higuita Zapata, a renowned former Colombian footballer. The measure responds to suspected links between the property and activities related to drug trafficking.
The determination was adopted by the competent authorities as part of proceedings aimed at stripping property from those who allegedly obtained assets through illegal means. In this case, the property would pass to the Colombian State if the measure is confirmed in full.
Higuita, who served as goalkeeper for the national team and various professional clubs, has been at the centre of previous controversies linked to his proximity to drug trafficking figures during the 1980s and 1990s. Among the most remembered episodes is his friendship with Pablo Escobar, leader of the now-defunct Medellín Cartel.
