Zulema del Carmen Jattin Corrales (born 31 July 1969) is a politician, and former Senator of Colombia and Chamber Representative for the Department of Córdoba.
On 20 July she succeeded Alonso Acosta Osio in the Chamber, at the same time when across Congress, her ex-husband Luis Humberto Gómez Gallo, was taking office as President of the Senate.
In 2008, the Supreme Court of Colombia ran preliminary investigations into Jattin for links to Salvatore Mancuso and Rodrigo Tovar Pupo alias "Jorge 40", both paramilitary chiefs and drug traffickers extradited to the United States but could not find conclusive evidence to charge her for anything.
[citation needed] Due to the death of her father, she was allowed to attend to his funeral in Lorica with a permit from the INPEC,[2] the defence was granted house arrest for Jattin as she was the primary caretaker of her infant child, but she was freed seven months later after the statute of limitations had run out because the prosecution had not formally charged her after detaining her within the set time by the law.
