Guillermo Pallomari

Pallomari was born on October 1, 1949 in María Elena, Antofagasta Region, Chile to Lilian González and Guillermo Pallomari Astudillo.[4]

Pallomari obtained a degree in accounting, although he never formally worked in that sector. He also obtained a degree in systems engineering a few years later.

In 1973, during the military dictatorship of Chile (1973–1990), Pallomari moved with scarce economic resources, to Colombia. During those years, he obtained a work as bank supervisor and later on, in a textile company.

He married Gladys Patricia Cárdona, and along with her, founded a technological company called Universal Link. They had two children.[4]

In 1990, he began working for the Rodriguez-Orejula brothers, as chief accountant to manage their illicit drug trade.

Pallomari was captured by the Search Bloc, on June 8, 1994[3] while staying in his office, in Cali. After collaborating with information concerning Ernesto Samper's electoral fraud[5] (in which he received more than US$6,000,000 to finance his campaign expenses; equivalent to $10,472,793.52 as of 2020)[6] and Cali's illicit operations, he moved to the United States to testify and is under the Witness Protection Program as of 2020.
