The State of Colombia vs Alvaro Uribe Day 14: the victim and the superstar magistrate
by Adriaan Alsema October 4, 2019
. . .
These two witnesses, Senator Ivan Cepeda and former magistrate Ivan Velasquez, are the last and most powerful witnesses against Uribe.
Witness #41 | Ivan Cepeda
Had it not been for leftist Senator Ivan Cepeda, Uribe wouldn’t be in court.
After hearing from multiple witnesses that Uribe had formed the Bloque Metro paramilitary group in the 1990s, Cepeda called a debate and the former president filed witness manipulation charges in 2014.
It was during this investigation that the Supreme Court found evidence indicating that not Cepeda, but Uribe had been bribing witnesses to file fraudulent criminal charges.
