The State of Colombia vs Alvaro Uribe Day 1: 'Victor'

Adriaan Alsema Sep 3, 2019

Colombia’s Supreme Court will hear “Victor,” a former policeman and a mid-level paramilitary commander, on the first day of the trial against former President Alvaro Uribe.

Victor is one of the witnesses who was allegedly bribed to discredit claims by the former commander of the Cacique Pipinta paramilitary group, “Alberto Guerrero.”

Guerrero is one of the surviving former members of the Bloque Metro paramilitary group who claims their death squad was founded by the Uribe family and their neighbors in the 1990s.

According to the former president, the former Cacique Pipinta commander is lying.

People who have followed Colombian events are aware this trial is horrendously important.
