The State of Colombia vs Alvaro Uribe Day 4: the in-law, the businessman and the assistant
by Adriaan Alsema September 10, 2019
On the fourth day of Colombia’s trial of the century, the Supreme Court is scheduled to be hearing the sister-in law of former president Alvaro Uribe‘s lawyer and two businessmen.
Witness #10 | Maria Mercedes Williamson
Maria Mercedes Williamson is the sister-in-law of Uribe’s attorney Jaime Lombana and also related to Enrique Pardo, the prison mate of Juan Guillermo Monsalve, the key witness who has testified that Uribe formed the Bloque Metro paramilitary group when he was Governor of Antioquia.
Williamson’s role in Uribe’s alleged fraud and bribery practices is relatively minor as no evidence that was made public indicates she actively took part in manipulating witnesses.
She’s been called to testify because she and Lombana were in the room when Pardo and Diego’s fixer Diego Cadena were recorded trying to convince Monsalve to retract the claim incriminating Uribe.
