In addition to the reports of animal abuse and unpaid sanctions from the National Institute of Animal Welfare (INBA), a new front of discredit has now emerged: her financial collapse, officially recorded by the Central Bank of Uruguay (BCU).
The complaints against Colombo are not new. Her history of animal abuse, property destruction, and abandonment of animals in critical condition has been reported by various media outlets and organizations in recent years, generating public outrage and calls for sanctions.

From INBA sanctions to the banking "carousel"
BCU reports show that Colombo has the worst credit rating in the system (risk 5) and more than $880,000 in outstanding, overdue, and written-off debts, in addition to US$7,000 deemed uncollectible.
The most striking aspect is not the amount, but the modus operandi: a pattern of financial "carousel," resorting to banks, credit cards, and cooperatives to continue obtaining credit while accumulating defaults.
Today, no institution is willing to lend her a single peso, and her name is listed as uncollectible throughout the financial system. For an ordinary citizen, this would be a problem; for a public representative, it is a true scandal.
