BOGOTA - Colombia’s Supreme Court placed former President Alvaro Uribe under house arrest in a unanimous decision on Tuesday while a fraud and witness tampering case continues.
The court reached the decision after concluding there was potential for obstruction of justice to take place, it said in a statement. Instead it was Uribe who was at fault, the court said, adding that his allies had undertaken new witness tampering efforts even after its original ruling. A celebration of the court’s decision is planned in Bogota on Tuesday evening, while Uribe supporters are set to gather in their cars to protest the ruling.Uribe is best known for mounting an aggressive offensive against Marxist guerrillas during his 2002 to 2010 tenure. He and his family have long been accused of paramilitary links. His brother Santiago is facing a murder charge.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
Es bueno que la comunidad internacional se entere que la CorteSupremaJ quien dejó ir a un asesino, guerrillero, violador y narco como Santrich es la misma que hoy dicta medida de aseguramiento contra un wxpresidente, SIN TENER PRUEBAS CONTUNDENTES
Is it me, or does it seem like all these national leaders who were involved in the war against drugs, and terrorism in the 90s, are going down one by one at the hands of political opposition that supported guerrillas?
FINALLY
As the U.S. continues to slide further into a quasi-democracy, expect the same cycle to become manifest.
Today Colombia is less democratic and less stable.
He had it coming for years....
It's a pandemic. Arturo Calle is closed anyway.
