BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian prosecutors investigating Brazil's Odebrecht [ODBES.UL] for corruption will travel to that country next week to look for evidence that the construction conglomerate bribed politicians and sent funds to presidential campaigns, an official said on Friday.

Attorney General Nestor Humberto Martinez has said a portion of $4.6 million (£3.7 million) that Odebrecht allegedly paid a former senator accused of graft might have been funnelled to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos' 2014 reelection campaign.
