Colombia's prosecution asks court to drop Uribe investigation despite evidence
by Adriaan Alsema March 5, 2021
Despite overwhelming evidence, Colombia’s prosecution asked a court to drop fraud and bribery charges against far-right former President Alvaro Uribe.
Controversial prosecutor Gabriel Jaimes asked a court to revoke the indictment against Uribe and shelf the investigation into the former president’s alleged fraud and bribery charges.
The request was expected after Jaimes had desperately been trying to obstruct his own investigation against the powerful former president who had already been placed under house arrest by the Supreme Court.
The mafia’s prosecutor?
Prosecutor General Francisco Barbosa is likely to face a tsunami of criticism over his office’s blatant attempts to protect a growing group of allegedly criminal allies of President Ivan Duque, which has sunk public confidence in the country’s notoriously corrupt justice system.
