The prosecutor who wants to drop a fraud and bribery investigation against Colombia’s ex-President Alvaro Uribe will be facing criminal charges for his alleged attempt to corrupt justice.
Two of the victims of Uribe’s alleged criminal practices, Senator Ivan Cepeda and former chief prosecutor Eduardo Montealegre, said they would press criminal charges against prosecutor Gabriel Jaimes.
According to Cepeda and Montealegre, the prosecutor broke the law by requesting a judge to drop the criminal investigation initially started by the Supreme Court.
Montealegre and Cepeda’s defense attorney Reinaldo Villalba told Noticias Uno they would press criminal charges against Jaimes for purposely ignoring incriminating evidence and witness testimonies.
