Colombia 'harassing victim and witness' of former president's alleged criminal practices
by Adriaan Alsema March 2, 2021
Victims and witnesses of the alleged fraud and bribery practices of Colombia’s former President Alvaro Uribe claim they are being harassed by the prosecution.
According to Senator Ivan Cepeda, the victim of Uribe’s alleged witness tampering to file fraudulent criminal charges against the opposition politician, “they have tried to open three criminal investigations against me” in the past few weeks.
In an interview with Noticias Uno, Cepeda said that the prosecution claimed to have found evidence that the lawmaker had unauthorized contact with ELN guerrillas in the office of President Ivan Duque‘s peace commissioner.
According to Cepeda, the Prosecutor general’s Office found the alleged evidence during an alleged raid in the office of Peace Commissioner Miguel Ceballos a day after the lawmaker accused Duque’s top peace official of obstructing peace.
