In December 2019, President Ivan Duque of Colombia named Eduardo Zapateiro (R) the new Commander in Chief of the National Army, replacing Nicacio Martinez (L).Alejandro Ramirez, the former head of Military Criminal Justice, announced that his surprising departure probably had something to do with the complaints and investigations that he had been conducting that were "not appreciated by certain people."
One of these is an investigation into a case of embezzlement being conducted against the Commander of the Army, Eduardo Zapateiro.
Ramirez issued a press communique last Wednesday, the day of his departure, in which he emphasized that he always acted correctly, pursuant to law, in his post.
Ramirez stated that he could not provide details about the investigation because that would violate the secrecy of the proceedings, but, he said, I am a lawyer and I respect the independence and autonomy of our judges.
