Colombia's military starts meddling with Uribe investigation


by Adriaan Alsema April 12, 2021

Colombia’s military released alleged intelligence documents claiming that a victim of former President Alvaro Uribe‘s alleged fraud and bribery practices is a former FARC guerrilla.

The allegations were published by weekly Semana after a Bogota judge granted the request of Deyanira Gomez to be considered a victim of Uribe’s alleged criminal practices.

Gomez is the ex-girlfriend of Guillermo Monsalve, one of the surviving former members of the “Bloque Metro” who have testified that the far-right former president helped found the the paramilitary group.

The victim fled Colombia in 2019 after a Supreme Court investigation against the former president triggered intimidation attempts against Gomez and her children.
