Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe has been found guilty of witness tampering and bribery. The verdict, announced on Monday, follows a nearly six-month trial, during which evidence revealed that he attempted to influence witnesses who accused him of having connections to a paramilitary group.

Uribe, 73, served as Colombia's president from 2002 to 2010, and remains a polarizing figure in Colombia, with some praising him for saving the country, while others associate him with human rights violations and the rise of paramilitary groups. Uribe faces up to 12 years in prison. The sentence will be delivered separately.

The case dates back to 2012 when Uribe filed a libel suit to the Supreme Court against Ivan Cepeda, a left-wing senator, who had launched an investigation into Uribe’s alleged ties to a paramilitary group. However, the high court dismissed the charges against Cepeda and began investigating Uribe in 2018.

During Uribe's presidency, Colombia's military achieved significant victories over the Marxist-inspired guerrilla groups, notably FARC, which is Latin America's oldest leftist insurgency. These victories forced the group into remote areas and prompted its leadership to engage in peace negotiations.

These victories forced the group into remote areas and prompted its leadership to engage in peace negotiations.

Critics have also accused Uribe of state crimes, including the execution of over 6,400 civilians by the Colombian military, who falsely identified them as members of rebel groups to gain promotions during the conflict.
