The mayor of Villa de Leyva, Boyacá, Víctor Alfonso Gamboa Chaparro, was detained on May 7 and faces charges of extortion and misconduct in office. Prosecutors intercepted phone calls in which he allegedly demanded a 20% bribe from a developer to unblock permits for a $6 million mansion project, specifying how the money would be distributed among inspectors and environmental officials. The developer rejected the proposal, citing ethical concerns.
