Former Colombia prosecution executive linked to manipulation of evidence in Uribe case
by Adriaan Alsema July 28, 2019
Colombia’s prosecution is investigating the role of its former Technical Investigations Unit (CTI) director over the manipulation of evidence in the witness tampering case against former President Alvaro Uribe, according to weekly Semana.
The weekly reported on Sunday that the former director of the CTI, Danny Julian Quintana, will have to explain to investigators on Friday how audio that was obtained through wiretaps ended up partially erased or distorted.

Who is doing Uribe illegal favors?
In the case of the Uribe recordings, prosecutors found that Quintana in 2015 gave the order to change the wiretapping equipment and erase the logs of the wiretaps “to save energy,” according to Semana.
At the time, the prosecutors were wiretapping the caretaker of one of Uribe’s estates and his son, who are key witnesses in the witness tampering case.
