Colombia's inspector general also dismisses Uribe's witness tampering claim against leftist senator
by Adriaan Alsema October 17, 2018
Colombias Inspector General absolved leftist Senator Ivan Cepeda in response to witness tampering claims made by former President Alvaro Uribe.
The Inspector General said there is no evidence Cepeda overstepped his boundaries for investigating and receiving testimonies over Uribes alleged criminal responsibility in the formation of death squads in the 1990s.
According to Inspector General Fernando Carrillo, Cepedas investigations and conversations with former members of the Blowque Metro fall within his powers as congressman.
The Supreme Court decided earlier this year also to absolve Cepeda and instead investigate Uribe for alleged witness tampering after the assassination of multiple witnesses who had testified that the former president formed the Bloque Metro death squad when he was governor of the Antioquia province.
