Unknown whereabouts of former Dapre director
The Bogotá court ordered the assignment of a public defender to the former director of the Administrative Department of the Presidency of the Republic (Dapre), Carlos Ramón González, according to a report by Google News CO — Bogotá. The decision comes amid uncertainty about the whereabouts of the former official, who headed the entity during the government of Gustavo Petro.
The judicial order seeks to guarantee the right to due process for González, as he does not have his own legal representation in the context of the proceedings against him. Dapre is the entity responsible for the administration and logistical support of the Presidency of the Republic of Colombia.
To date, the official confirmation of where Carlos Ramón González is located has not been provided, which has raised questions regarding his legal situation and his capacity to conduct his own defence. The court determined that the absence of a lawyer cannot be an obstacle to continuing with the proceedings.
