According to its purpose, they hired it to provide management support services in the Subdirectorate of Projects for Security and Citizen Coexistence. The contract had a deadline for execution until December 31, 2025 and was delivered under the direct contract modality.

In fact, the former official appears signing a document justifying the hiring of the young woman, arguing a lack of personnel.
“Once the insufficiency of personnel to meet the objectives has been reviewed and confirmed, there is a need to hire management support personnel to provide their services by supporting the consolidation of reports. that are required for the monitoring of projects financed and/or co-financed with resources from the National Fund for Citizen Security and Coexistence,” the document reads.
EL TIEMPO contacted Lovo Carretero, who began by confirming the contracts of the young Jiménez: “The Contractor had 2 contracts in the Subdirectorate, in which I was a supervisor, one in 2025, No. 1826 of 2025, monthly value $2,534,395, were 4.5 months and another in 2026, monthly value $2,648,443, 11.5 months.”

And he added: “She was hired as management support, fulfilling the required profile. Now, with respect to the hiring of professionals and/or people to support management, it is justified by insufficient staff personnel to fulfill all the functions of the Subdirectorate. It is important to note that the Subdirectorate has few regular staff, between six to seven officials, which makes it necessary to hire more than one hundred people through service provision contracts (OPS) between professionals and management support to strengthen the missionary activities of the subdirectorate.”
And as to whether the woman was recommended to the entity, he assured: “I do not have specific knowledge, the linking of contractors is a decision of senior management and that is where it is decided why they are linked.”
In any case, it is expected that Deicy Jiménez will be summoned before the Prosecutor’s Office to give a formal testimony and provide evidence regarding the allegations.
