Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe has claimed on Wednesday that he will sue two former members of congress for accusing him of knowingly receiving support from the AUC paramilitary during his 2002 election campaign.
Uribe announced via his twitter account that his lawyers would make a “criminal complaint” against Eleonora Pineda and Miguel Alfonso de la Espriella for their accusations aimed at him during a court hearing in the capital Bogota on Tuesday.
