Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe was found guilty of witnessing witnesses
Ilvaro Uribe has become the first former president of Colombia who has been convicted of a crime.
During the period of 7 to 8, the court found the age of 73 years of guilty of witnesses and fraudulent charges.
He was convicted of trying to bribe the witnesses in an independent investigation on the charge of having a connection with the width of the right thinking responsible for the violation of human rights.
Each fee is in jail for up to 12 years. Uribe is expected to appeal this decision as he always maintained innocence.
During his tenure, Uribe is known as an aggressive offensive against the Left Gunimi Group the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC). He has always denied relations with the right-hand paramilitary paramilions.
According to the AFP report, the former President was shaking his head.
US State Secretary Marco Rubio has condemned the court’s decision.
The former President’s “the only crime is to fight tirelessly and defend his homeland,” he wrote on social media sites.
The result came for more than decades after the first charge of Urb in 2.
At that time, he plotted against the left -wing Senate member Ivan Sepada. Urbe claims that he wanted to lie to the right -wing group of the right thinking involved in the armed conflict under Colombia.
But the Supreme Court of the country rejected the former President’s claims against CEPEDA, instead investigating Urb for relations.
The former President was then accused of contacting the former prisoners of prison and tampering with the main witnesses to bribe them to reject their relations with the half -time groups.
Uribe said that he wanted to convince the ex -servicemen to tell the truth.
In the 1980s, the paramilitary group in Colombia caught the attention of poverty and neglect. He fought with the Marxist-reflected guerrilla groups who struggled to the kingdom two decades ago.
Many armed groups developed in the standoff generated from the cocaine trade. Violent and fatal battle with them and the state has created a lasting competition for smuggling ways and resources.
Washington praised Urb for the rigorous approach to the FARC rebels-but a partitioning politician whose critics say that he did not do much to improve the inequality and poverty in the country.
Though violence has been sustained by Nirbha in Colombia, the FARC signed a peace agreement with Urb’s successor in 2016.
