Uribe’s has no proof of Santos drug money claim, admits lawyer

Uribe’s has no proof of Santos drug money claim, admits lawyer
May 20, 2014 posted by Daniel E Freeman



The lawyer for Alvaro Uribe claims the former President never actually had proof of his allegations that there were links between $2 million in drug money and President Juan Manuel Santos, Colombia’s national media reported on Tuesday.

After refusing to testify regarding allegations to Colombia’s Prosecutor General’s Office three times, the former President and Senator-elect Uribe is now playing with words.

Less than two weeks ago, the founder of the Democratic Center (Centro Democratico – CD) party jumped on a media frenzy surrounding President Santos’ now former campaign manager Juan Jose (JJ) Rendon.

The Venezuelan political strategist was forced to resign after El Espectador newspaper revealed that Rendon had received $12 million from drug traffickers after negotiating a deal with them to allegedly end parts of the drug trade.
