It was not immediately possible to obtain comment from Zuluaga or Odebrecht. In 2014, Zuluaga met on several occasions with the former head of Odebrecht in Colombia, Eleuberto Antonio Martorelli, the prosecutor said. The alleged lies to the council led it to close an investigation into Zuluaga, the statement added.
