Uribe y Petro en guerra de declaraciones por el caso “Los 12 Apóstoles”
El expresidente Álvaro Uribe y el presidente Gustavo Petro se han enzarzado en una discusión pública a través de las redes sociales, en torno al caso judicial de Santiago Uribe, hermano del exmandatario, quien fue condenado a 28 años de prisión por su vinculación con el grupo paramilitar “Los 12 Apóstoles”.
TL;DR
- Álvaro Uribe accuses President Gustavo Petro of manipulating the justice system regarding the conviction of Santiago Uribe.
- Santiago Uribe was sentenced to 28 years for involvement with the paramilitary group “Los 12 Apóstoles”.
- Uribe claims the conviction is based on "protected false witnesses" and aims to distract from the current administration's failures.
- Petro asserts the U.S. government knew about “Los 12 Apóstoles” since 1999 and highlights his administration's anti-drug trafficking efforts.
- The Uribe family's lawyer will file a "special appeal mechanism" against the sentence.
- The lawyer requests that bias be set aside in press reports and argues that victim testimonies not directly linked to the case should not influence the legal process.
