Extradited paramilitary leader "Macaco" testified that people close to former President Alvaro Uribe conspired to falsely accuse the Supreme Court of having accepted a paramilitary bribe.

According to Macaco, whose real name is Carlos Mario Jimenez, the alleged $2.8 million bribe was made up by people "close to the presidential palace" in order to discredit the court.

The attorney is already in jail for a previous conspiracy in which a member of the AUC falsely accused a Supreme Court magistrate of forcing him to incriminate Uribe in relation to a massacre.
Macaco told the investigators that Gonzales visited him in his jail cell in 2008 and told him that if he would accuse the court he would not be extradited to the United States.
