A serious criminal complaint has been filed before the Impeachment Commission of the House of Representatives, putting the Attorney General of the Nation, Luz Adriana Camargo, in the eye of the hurricane.
The legal action, presented by the Vamos Colectivo Foundation, points to alleged institutional negligence in the face of more than 40 cases of female athletes who were victims of Sexual Abuse and harassment in training and competition leagues in Bogotá. The complaint seeks to establish whether the senior official committed the crime of malfeasance by omission.
According to the document, the alleged lack of speed and even ignorance on the part of the Prosecutor’s Office about these events, originally reported between the years 2021 and 2023, are the center of the controversy.
What is particular about the case is the profile of the victims: young athletes, and that of the alleged perpetrators: people close to them, such as coaches, teachers or classmates, which adds a layer of complexity and vulnerability to the investigations.
Blanca Durán, director of the Vamos Colectivo Foundation and former director of the District Institute of Recreation and Sports (IDRD), was in charge of promoting the mechanism that allowed the victims to break the silence. “We listen to their complaints, confidentially, and we accompany the victims to file their respective complaints with the authorities,” said Durán, evidencing the citizen effort in the face of alleged state inaction.

The victims’ process has been slow and frustrating. By 2023, two years after the first complaints, the first formal accusation against those accused was not known. This situation forced the Foundation to file a petition with the Prosecutor’s Office to find out the status of the investigations.
Given the lack of progress, in 2024 another right to petition was filed that was also ignored. Finally, in 2025, the Foundation established a guardianship action. The response, which arrived on August 23, 2025, from a professional from the legal group of the Bogotá prosecutor’s office, denied specific information, arguing that the complainant was not a victim or direct legal representative.
Despite the obstacles, Vamos Colectivo managed to establish that of the 41 cases of Sexual Abuse reported, only 27 managed to have a criminal news number (file). Of these, only eight remain active, while the rest have been archived or found unsuitable.
The most worrying thing is that, to date, there is no conviction, and the victims are still waiting for justice to be effective. This panorama of impunity motivated the complaint before the Commission of Accusations, which must now determine the political and judicial responsibility of the Attorney General.
