From Central, La Ruta del Sol: Episode 1. The Bottle
Today, we bring you the first episode of La Ruta del Sol, the new series from our podcast Central. At the end of 2018, Jorge Enrique Pizano, a key witness in the Odebrecht case, died suddenly in his bathroom. Three days later, his eldest son also died under very strange circumstances. These unsettling deaths set off one of the most intriguing judicial cases in Colombia’s recent history—one that sheds light on how the country’s elites wield power, and just how far the largest corruption scheme in the Americas reached.
