Alejandra Benavides

María Alejandra Benavides is a former advisor in the Colombian Ministry of Finance who recently made headlines for her involvement in a corruption investigation concerning the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD). She has reportedly reached a deal with prosecutors to testify against former Finance Minister Ricardo Bonilla and others, alleging that she was used to facilitate significant financial agreements in exchange for political support. Her claims, supported by chats and audio recordings, suggest a complex web of influence and decision-making within the government.
