Prosecutor Gilberto Rodríguez archives Martín Mutio's expanded complaint against Mónica Ferrero

The Prosecutor General's Office announced on Saturday that an expanded complaint filed by Martín Mutio has been archived. Mutio, who is serving a 15-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and money laundering, had accused officials from the National Customs Directorate and the Prefecture of false testimony. He also alleged abuse of functions by the current chief prosecutor, Mónica Ferrero, concerning her actions as a prosecutor specializing in narcotics.

This is not the first time Mutio has raised such accusations. He previously filed complaints in April 2025, alleging the concealment of facts and documents by the investigative team. Those complaints were also archived by the Prosecutor's Office for Economic and Complex Crimes. The latest expansion, submitted in May 2026, sought to reopen the investigation by introducing new alleged facts and evidence.

However, prosecutor Gilberto Rodríguez determined that the prerequisites outlined in Article 99 of the Code of Criminal Procedure were not met. The prosecutor's office stated in a release that the new submission did not present genuinely new facts or evidence. Furthermore, the provided evidence was deemed insufficient to establish the elements of the crimes Mutio sought to attribute to the accused, such as criminal association, fraud, or false testimony.

The Prosecutor's Office added that if Mutio's defense wishes to re-examine the evidence related to his conviction, they should file an appeal with the Supreme Court of Justice.
