  • Summary

  • The trial of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has resumed after a court rejected a defence request to remove the judge. Uribe is accused of fabricating charges against individuals who linked him to the AUC paramilitary group, allegedly using bribed witnesses. Evidence suggests Uribe's defence team attempted to delay proceedings and were held in contempt of court. Testimony includes claims that Uribe and his brother were involved in creating the "Bloque Metro" death squad with Medellin Cartel associates. The trial, which began in 2018, was moved to a lower court after Uribe resigned from the Senate. Uribe maintains his innocence, pleading not guilty to fraud and bribery charges.
