EXTRA: He Met a Pilgrim Shadow
Two weeks ago, we published what was supposed to be the final episode of The Shadow of El Dorado, our podcast series exploring the story of Segovia, a small mining town in Colombia tainted by blood gold. But while we were publishing the series, one of the people we had followed throughout our investigation, Jaime Gallego, was abducted, tortured, and murdered. As one of the leaders of the mesa minera – or mining roundtable – Jaime represented Segovia’s informal miners in their struggles with the Colombian government and the Canadian multinational that is the legal owner of Segovia’s gold. This work earned him at least 23 death threats, and, ultimately, would cost him his life. This week, we are launching a special episode to tell his story.

But what we found was a trail that led not only to gangsters and warlords, but also to presidents and billionaire investors.
