Colombian Police Chief Rodolfo Palomino welcomes Investigator General Alejandro Ordonez's probe on allegations that he is involved in a male prostitution ring in a bid to clear his name.

On Tuesday, the country's prosecutor general revealed his plans to conduct a "disciplinary investigation" on General Palomino regarding his connection to the alleged male prostitution ring as well as other cases, including illicit enrichment and illegal wiretapping.

Instead of condemning the probe, however, Palomino welcomed it, saying that he hopes to clear his name via the investigation.

"I hope that the justice system can restore the dignity which has been taken from me through lies and infamy," BBC News quoted him saying.

According to the outlet, the prostitution ring Palomino is accused of getting involved in is known as the "Community of the Ring."

This group allegedly subjected young male police cadets to prostitution where they were forced to have sex with higher-ranking officers, according to the testimonies gathered by Ordonez's preliminary investigation.

According to him, the accusations came from a police captain identified as Captain Anyelo Palacios, per Reuters.

Palacios filed a complaint against the 'ring' which detailed how he was sexually abused by his superiors while he was still a cadet.

Furthermore, Ordonez revealed that the police captain's claims are now being backed by a complaint from another police captain who is already retired.

The probe has already gathered video footage that proves the existence of the prostitution ring.

Apparently, the clip showed former Senator Carlos Ferro discussing sexual intercourse between males with Palacios, implicating him in the crime.

However, the footage did not show or mention Palomino or any prostitution ring but Palacios claimed that some incidents happened "with the help and complicity of police officials, including the director-general [Rodolfo Palomino]."

Despite this, the lack of physical evidence tying him to the crime made the police director-general confident that his name will be cleared.

"I appreciate that the relevant investigations are going ahead, as I requested, and I'm sure they will lead to the truth of false accusations that have been made against me in a reckless and sustained manner," he said.

Moreover, the footage appears to have been taken by Palacios without the then-senator's knowledge.

Despite this, the police captain remains firm with his accusations that a prostitution ring, journalistically referred to as the "Fellowship of the Ring," has been running from 2004 to 2008 and has victimized countless cadets during that period.

As for Ferro, a report from TelSUR revealed that he stepped down from being the vice minister of the interior on Tuesday without any explanation or reason.
