Uribe admitted he knew evidence given to Colombia's top court was fabricated: report
by Adriaan Alsema November 3, 2019
Colombia’s former President Alvaro Uribe told the Supreme Court that witness statements he gave the court had been fabricated by his fixer, according to weekly Semana.
In his latest column, journalist Daniel Coronell published a new set of snippets of court transcripts, this time revealing that Uribe admitted he was aware that evidence surrendered to the court had been fabricated by mafia lawyer Diego Cadena.
. . .
The snippets released this week would give the former president even more reasons to be worried about a possible six to eight years prison sentence.
Despite knowing about the fraudulent witness testimonies, neither Uribe nor his defense attorneys took action to withdraw the fabricated evidence.
