Colombia's appeals court overturns Uribe's bribery conviction, citing flawed trial, ahead of 2026 elections.
A Colombian appeals court has overturned former President Álvaro Uribe’s 2024 conviction for bribery and witness tampering, nullifying his 12-year house arrest sentence.
The court ruled the original trial had structural flaws, insufficient evidence, and flawed reasoning, particularly regarding testimony from former paramilitary members.
Uribe, who governed from 2002 to 2010, denied wrongdoing, calling the case politically motivated.
