Daniel Quintero questioned the key witness in the Itagüí Fire Department corruption case and defended his brother: “The story doesn’t add up.”

Former Medellín Mayor Daniel Quintero Calle has publicly challenged the credibility of a key witness in a corruption investigation involving fire department contracts in Itagüí. Quintero's statements specifically targeted Misael Cadavid, the designated key witness in the ongoing probe.

At the same time, Quintero used his public defense to protect his brother, who is linked to the case, asserting that the witness's version of events does not add up. The investigation centers on alleged corruption tied to six specific contracts.

The case highlights ongoing political and legal tensions surrounding public contracting and municipal administration in the region, drawing scrutiny from regional figures and external media observers.
