Colombian prosecutors have once against requested evidence regarding claims made by ex-president Alvaro Uribe who accused President Juan Manuel Santos of allegedly using funneled drug money to compensate spending during his 2010 electoral campaign. The country’s Deputy Prosecutor General has called on the Inspector General’s Office to release proof provided by Uribe, alleging that there were links between $2 million in drug money and Santos, Santa Fe Radio reported.

Second request

On Monday, the country’s deputy prosecutor, Jorge Perdomo, requested for a second time that he be provided with evidence regarding Uribe’s allegations.

Last Thursday, the prosecutor called upon the Public Ministry to release information about Uribe’s accusations. Uribe has indicated that he will only submit proof the the Public Ministry, alleging that Prosecutor General’s Office is biased.
The Prosecutor General’s Office has stated however that it cannot move forward with an investigation against Santos until adequate proof has been provided.

Uribe’s lawyer: no proof

The Senator-elect’s lawyer admitted last Monday that the former president had no proof of this claim. Uribe does not have any proof,” lawyer Jaime Lombona said to Colombian radio station W Radio.

In the former President’s initial interview with W Radio where he made his unbacked accusation, the career politician was also very clear. Regarding the claim against Santos, Uribe said that he had “testimonies,” “witnesses,” and a “very serious source,” but Lombona clarified Monday that “the ex-President Uribe never used the word ‘proof.’”

1. Looks to me like Uribe is trying to smear Santos.

2. He hates him with a purple passion. What a shame he's covered with Teflon.

That Teflon seems to have come with a lifetime warranty, too, doesn't it?

He should have been in prison so long ago, along with his cousin Mario, and his brother, and his friends and stooges.
