Former President Alvaro Uribe's son Tomas allegedly attempted to bring Colombian company the Nule Group and a Brazilian construction firm together in a joint bid for a public works contract during his father's presidency, reports El Nuevo Herald.

Miguel Nule of the Nule Group said that the young Uribe had acted as an intermediary during meetings between the two companies at the Brazilian multinational company Norberto Odebrecht's Panama City headquarters.

Tomas Uribe refused to comment when asked by the Miami Herald whether his involvement in the proposed deal represented a conflict of interest.

Nule said that the meeting was also attended by his cousin Guido Nule, director of Norberto Odebrecht Panama Andre Rabello, and by a Panamanian government official named Juan Eslava.
