In reply to the discussion: Venezuelan opposition leader sued in Colombia [View all]Judi Lynn
(164,164 posts)22. Even his neice and her mother, too! A real crime family business.
I loved the part in which Alvaro Uribe claims his brother, Jaime's car phone was "cloned by criminals."
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha. Cloned! Which criminals would that be? The Uribe criminals?
His other brother, Santiago, by the way, has been involved with real rough customers a long time:
(former Colombian President) Uribe's brother met with Vicente Castaño: 'El Aleman'
Santiago Uribe, the brother of Colombia's former President Alvaro Uribe met with assumed dead paramilitary leader Vicente Castaño, AUC commander "El Aleman" testified before court.
According to newspaper El Espectador, Freddy Rendon Herrera, alias "El Aleman" said that Uribe met with Castaño and Raul Hazbun, a north Colombian businessman who mediated between the paramilitaries and banana company Chiquita, that has been convicted in the U.S. for financially supporting the paramilitary organization.
El Aleman told the court that Hazbun had told him the meeting between Uribe and Castaño, who was in charge of the paramilitary organization's drug trafficking operations.
Newspaper El Tiempo on Thursday reported that the paramilitary leader also accused "emerald czar" Victor Carranza of financially suporting the AUC.

Same here! Chavez was more than kind to allow those hired assassins to return to Colombia.

You're right. They are ALL "Republicans." They're everywhere, even have infested D.U., as we know.

That's the silver lining in all of this. Never interrupt your enemy while he's self destructing.

It appears that the original case is about a Uribe plot to oust President Santos

He's probably wild to keep Santos' government from succeeding in a Peace Agreement.
