'Matarife', the series seeking to 'morally do away with Uribe', major hit in Colombia


by Adriaan Alsema May 24, 2020

The first episode of the online series that promised to “morally do away with” former President Alvaro Uribe received more than 3.5 million views in the first 24 hours after its release.

“Matarife” is the work of attorney and journalist Daniel Mendoza, and based on decades of investigation by one of Colombia’s most senior journalists, Gonzalo Guillen.

The series’ initial success is another major blow for Uribe, who already is under investigation by the Supreme Court over his alleged manipulation of witnesses who have testified about the former president and his brother’s former death squads.

Colombia’s traditional news outlets largely ignored the series amid pressure by Uribe’s far-right party, the Democratic Center (CD), to prevent media attention.
