Uribe rejects US cartel claims as 'fake news'
by Jarrod Demir May 28, 2018
Colombia’s ex-president Alvaro Uribe has rebuffed declassified United States cables containing claims he had ties to the Medellin Cartel in the 1990s.
. . .
Uribe is also under investigation by the Supreme Court for funding paramilitary groups responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians.
Yet investigations have been stalled with the murders of several witnesses along with, according to the court, multiple others being intimidated at the hands of Uribe.
The US Defense Intelligence Agency and several investigative journalists have supported claims of Uribe’s ties to the now defunct Medellin Cartel.
