Is Colombia trying to silence key witness against Uribe?
April 14, 2021
Colombia’s prison chief asked the Supreme Court to revoke an order to ramp up security for one of the surviving witnesses of former President Alvaro Uribe‘s alleged terrorist activity.
In a letter, Major General Mariano Botero of prison authority INPEC asked the court to reconsider the April 2018 order to transfer former paramilitary fighter Juan Guillermo Monsalve to a secure wing of Bogota prison La Picota.
Two good reasons to silence Monsalve
The former member of paramilitary group “Bloque Metro” is a key witness in ongoing criminal investigations into Uribe’s alleged witness tampering practices.
