Colombia’s Attorney General’s Office has launched a new investigation into former President Álvaro Uribe regarding alleged crimes linked to the creation of a paramilitary group, according to a source familiar with the matter and statements made by Uribe on social media Thursday.
The latest development places the former Colombian leader back at the center of legal and political scrutiny. Uribe, 73, served as Colombia’s president from 2002 to 2010 and remains one of the country’s most influential political figures. Throughout his career, he has faced multiple legal challenges while continuing to deny wrongdoing.
Details surrounding the new investigation remain limited, but authorities are reportedly examining allegations connected to the formation of a paramilitary organization. The case adds to a series of legal battles that have followed Uribe since leaving office.
The investigation comes months after a significant court ruling in Uribe’s favor. In October, a Colombian court overturned a previous conviction related to fraud and bribery charges, marking a major legal victory for the former president. The decision reversed an earlier ruling that had intensified public debate over accountability and corruption allegations involving high-profile political figures.
Uribe has long been a controversial figure in Colombian politics. Supporters credit his administration with improving national security and weakening armed insurgent groups during his two presidential terms. Critics, however, have frequently questioned his alleged connections to paramilitary organizations and other controversial actors during Colombia’s decades-long internal conflict.
The Attorney General’s Office has not yet released comprehensive details about the scope of the investigation or any potential charges. As legal proceedings move forward, the case is expected to draw significant attention both within Colombia and internationally due to Uribe’s political influence and the broader implications for the country’s justice system.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not announced a timeline for potential findings or further judicial action.
