On the afternoon of this Friday, February 10, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, indicated through his Twitter account that he had asked the Superintendence of Public Services to carry out a valuation study of the Triple A company, in Barranquilla.
The president assured that the investigation will seek to “determine if the shares of said company were sold below their value.”
“I have ordered under my constitutional functions the Superintendence of Public Services to carry out a valuation study of the triple AAA company of Barranquilla to determine if the shares of said company were sold below their value,” he said.
The announcement comes after the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation suspended for three months the president of the Special Assets Society (SAE), Daniel Rojas Medellín, within the investigation that is being carried out for the Triple A case.
This corresponds to the first suspension ordered by the Public Ministry against a Petro government official. In this case, Sebastián Caballero, SAE’s legal vice president; Jairo Alonso Bautista, Vice President of Companies of the entity; and Dagoberto Quiroga Collazos, Superintendent of Home Public Services.

Given this, the president expressed his solidarity with Rojas Medellín through a message on his Twitter account.
“My solidarity with Daniel. The one who found corruption in the SAE and in Triple A is now suspended by the control bodies, which long ago should have discovered corruption in the SAE with the assets of drug trafficking and in Triple A” , published President Petro, in response to a message from the official.
