The State of Colombia vs Alvaro Uribe Day 13: the key witness and the lawmakers


by Adriaan Alsema October 2, 2019

On the 13th day of Colombia’s trial of the century, the Supreme Court will hear one of the surviving former paramilitaries who have testified former President Alvaro Uribe formed his own death squad.

Additionally, the court will hear two former senators who, according to Uribe, conspired to incriminate him, a claim that allegedly was based on the testimonies of bribed witnesses.

Witness #38 | “Alberto Guerrero”
“Alberto Guerrero” is former paramilitary commander who began his career as a fighter for the Bloque Metro and ended as commander of the Bloque Cacique Pipinta.

Guerrero is the witness who got Uribe where he is now, in court instead of congress. The former paramilitary was the first to accuse Uribe of having formed the Bloque Metro with his brother and neighbors in the 1990s.
