The impending end of a crime family? Uribe's brother's 'life saver' flips
by Adriaan Alsema November 16, 2019
A former narco who Colombian media dubbed the “life saver” of former President Alvaro Uribe‘s brother last year put another nail in the coffin of this “good Colombian” over the week.
The revelation of “Zeus,” a former army major who worked for the Norte del Valle Cartel, confirmed this week that his claim that Santiago Uribe was the victim of a conspiracy was a lie.

To make things worse, the extradited narco testified that the former president’s fixer, mafia lawyer Diego Cadena, is currently helping him to obtain judicial benefits in return for his false testimony.
According to Zeus, the former Norte del Valle Cartel boss “Don Diego” lent him Cadena in 2018.
. . .
The self-proclaimed “gangstattorney”is now accused of witness tampering in the cases against both Uribe brothers apparently in both Colombia and the US, where Zeus is serving a 45-year sentence.
