CONSTITUTIONAL COURT’S DECISION
Medellín, Colombia, July 12, 2007
    The Constitutional Court did not revoke the decision that ordered the reopening of the investigation against some officers of Bancolombia.
Today, the Constitutional Court (Sala Plena) upheld decision No. 171 dated March 7, 2006 of one of the Revision Divisions (Sala de Revisión) of that Court, which ordered the reopening of the criminal investigation against some officers of Bancolombia S.A. (“Bancolombia”).
Scope of the Decision
This decision confirms that the criminal investigation against some of Bancolombia’s officers will continue.
It should be noted that both the affected officers of Bancolombia and the Prosecutor (Procuraduría General de la Nación) have appealed the decision of the Attorney General’s Office (Fiscalía Octava Delegada), dated January 4, 2007.
On its appeal, the officers of Bancolombia argue the lack of evidence of Attorney General’s Office decision violating due process and most importantly, disregarding the principle of res judicata.
The Prosecutor’s appeal also requests the nullity of the Attorney General’s Office decision.
As a consequence, while those appeals are pending, the Attorney General’s Office decision dated January 4, 2007 will be suspended.
Bancolombia intends, in support of its officers, to reaffirm the decision to prove before any court the absolute transparency of the acquisition of Banco de Colombia and the subsequent merger with Banco Industrial Colombiano, as it was reviewed and confirmed by different judicial levels at the time.
Bancolombia reaffirms its respect to the authorities as fundamental bases for the rule of law as a socially responsible entity that respects and values the institutions.
