Uribe’s criminal conviction -- the first to be issued to a former leader of Colombia -- marked a dismal cap for the career of one of the country’s most divisive politicians.
A judge with the Superior Tribunal of Bogota on Monday ruled “to not issue the provisional measure” requested by Uribe’s attorneys, saying in the court ruling that the appeal for release “does not meet the standards of urgency” required by Colombian law.
He was also convicted of obstructing justice.
Uribe’s lawyers had petitioned the Supreme Court on Monday to set him free, assuring he had no intention of leaving his homeland.
He claims his conviction is a political witch hunt by the administration of left-wing President Gustavo Petro.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has decried the case against Uribe, saying it represented “the weaponization of Colombia’s judicial branch by radical judges.” - AFP
