Ronny Aleaga announced in a video that he will begin to expose chats with prosecutor Diana Salazar. The Prosecutor’s Office responds that it is a “new smear campaign against its owner.
The State Attorney General’s Office described as a “smear campaign” the video released by the former assemblyman of the Citizen Revolution, Ronny Aleaga, one of those investigated in the Metastasis case, who claims to have 1,500 chats with prosecutor Diana Salazar.
The Prosecutor’s Office linked the former legislator to the Metastasis case, on March 15, 2024. It accuses him of being a collaborator within the organized crime scheme and assures that part of his work was to “silence” the former assemblyman Fernando Villavicencio, murdered in August 2023.
“It is time to defend myself and speak to my country and the world about the true accomplice and the biggest concealer of organized crime in the country: Diana Salazar Méndez,” says Aleaga in the video broadcast on the night of Sunday, March 24.
The former assemblyman assured that since 2021 he has had “regular, personal and intimate conversations” with prosecutor Diana Salazar and that he will begin to expose those chats. According to Aleaga, the conversations have been “expertized and verified” with a United States company.
Aleaga is a fugitive and the judge in the case requested collaboration from the International Police (Interpol) in his search.

Pronouncement of the Prosecutor’s Office
The State Attorney General’s Office spoke out, through a statement, after the video was broadcast.
The Public Ministry assures that Aleaga was summoned to give his version “on repeated occasions,” but he did not appear and, according to immigration records, left the country.
«Now, the citizen in question – a fugitive from Justice (…) – is hiding behind a video in which he talks about alleged expert chats in another country, about alleged conversations with the head of this institution, the place to defend himself legally. , as it matches” State Attorney General’s Office
“It is clear that instead of using a defense of his supposed innocence (…) this is a campaign that does not aim to reach any truth, but rather to position a discourse of victimization, in which – in addition – the person involved would be accepting the alias of ‘Russo’…” adds the statement from the Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutor Salazar also spoke out on social media after the video was released, although she did not mention the former assembly member. «It took 3 months to use the same strategy that Pablo Escobar applied – at the time – against the President of Colombia. Make no mistake, Mr. defendant, the citizens know very well that the fugitives are coming for me,” Salazar published.
At night, prosecutor Salazar responded again to the former Correismo assemblyman. «I will stay focused on what is important, desperation has no limit. “They will not divert our attention,” he emphasized.
From hiding, Aleaga announced that today he begins «the presentation of all conversations» that he kept “secret” with Salazar. «“I am not afraid of the consequences of exposing the thousands of infidelities, political and personal, and revelations that he made to me in almost three years,” he assured.
