Another hypothesis that was used was that Quiroga’s departure was due to having hired an official who had been fired from the Department of Social Prosperity: Jhonathan Ramírez Nieves.

Although he had refused to speak, Quiroga decided to give statements to EL TIEMPO about the audio and assured that “I don’t remember the conversation“.
Furthermore, he added: “Surely at Andesco we had some conversation and the situations that the two companies had (Interaseo of William Vélez and Air-e) were expressed. Suddenly that meeting could be caused. One tries to find agreed solutions through dialogue and that has happened with several companies. For me it is normal in the work of the Superintendency“.
