The Char Family is one of the most influential families on the Colombian Caribbean Coast. It groups the most important stations of the Colombian Caribbean Coast, to which the country’s most listened station (Olímpica Stereo) also belongs. It owns more than ten companies in different sectors of the economy, among which the following are outstanding: the Supertiendas and Droguerías Olímpica, and the Club Deportivo Popular Junior of Barranquilla. Several members of the Char Family have held public office (either by election or appointment) both at local or national level. Among its members we find Mayors, Councilmen, Senators, etc.
The Char are renowned for their political power in the region, their chains of drugstores and supermarkets Olímpica, their stockholding in the Junior de Barranquilla football club and their construction contracts.
There has been a close relation between the Char family and the El Heraldo newspaper . Fuad Char financed El Heraldo when it went through an economic crisis and was at risk of bankruptcy. Its owners are close friends and although there is no relationship of economic dependence, the closeness between the companies still remains.
