El Pais is usually a pretty good source for things in Latin America, it answers most of those but others will have to wait until they have someone in custody I imagine. He campaigned against corruption and organized crime so that is not an unlikely source.

Unlikely to change the outcome, he was not the top candidate.
Thanks, that mostly answers my questions.
