Alessandro Corridori, an Italian national who was released from prison after being held for two years in connection with the Interbolsa scandal, found himself at the center of a new controversy when he reportedly created new companies and solicited investments from individuals without criminal records. He used his daughter and others as legal representatives to avoid official scrutiny. Corridori enticed investors by promising lucrative dividends from various investments. In the initial stages, he fulfilled his promise, which led to more people pouring their money into his scheme. By the time the investors became aware of his fraudulent activities, he had already fled the country. Corridori reappeared in 2022, citing threats from a debt, but his excuses were not convincing to investors who have since filed complaints with the Colombian Prosecutor’s Office. Although the investors were promised repayments, they suspect that Corridori is merely trying to delay the process. Corridori’s new scandal is just one of several high-profile scams that have rocked Colombia in recent years.
This is the Italian Alessandro Corridori, who was released after the Interbolsa scandal, as he spent 2 years in prison, his case was delayed and he was not tried.
After getting out of jail, the man started looking for investors for new companies that he founded and in which he put people without a judicial record, like his daughter, to act as legal representatives and thus leave his name out of everything, he said Snail News in a special report.

The outlet added that the victims set off the alarms in October 2021, when the scandal of the 70,000 million lost by the ICT Ministry broke out, since it was learned that the contractor Emilio Tapia, involved in that case, was frequented by Alessandro Corridori and that together they wanted to buy the Deportivo Pereira soccer club.
It was for this reason that investors began to request the return of all their money, but the Italian responded with future commitments and bad checks. Later, he escaped.
However, he reappeared in May 2022, when he called his dad and told him He said he was threatened by a debt, as revealed by the Colombian Prosecutor’s Office, which has received several complaints in this regard.
This fact was taken advantage of by the creditors to charge him again, but he answered them with far-fetched excuses if one takes into account that he explained to them that their businesses fell due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, due to the coronavirus pandemic and because the markets are in crisis.
In fact, he sent a lawyer to those who ask him to return their funds to promise them that he will will comply with the amounts established in reasonable terms, but those affected consider that this is a measure to delay everything, since they know that the subject is in Italy.

By using his daughter and other individuals without a judicial record as legal representatives, Corridori was able to deceive vulnerable investors, promising juicy dividends that turned out to be nothing but false promises. When the scheme ultimately fell apart, he fled and resurfaced months later, only to face more complaints and far-fetched excuses. It is a reminder that investors should always exercise caution and do their due diligence before entrusting their money with anyone.
