These are some of the Trending news in Colombia on Thursday February 16 2023.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is facing serious allegations, as US prosecution evidence suggests that its agents were involved in exporting cocaine from Colombia in 2017. In a letter to a New York judge, US Attorney Damian Williams accused the DEA of conspiring to traffic tons of cocaine, with evidence indicating that the DEA coordinated the export of the drug from Colombia's Prosecutor General's Office in a "controlled delivery." The trial against former guerrilla leader Jesus Santrich in 2018 involved charges allegedly fabricated by DEA agent Jason Richman, who testified under oath that the charges were the result of a drug trafficking investigation in Colombia. DEA agent Brian Witek also testified under oath that he coordinated the conspiracy to support these fabricated charges.
