Overview
- Judges found Uribe guilty of aggravated homicide, aggravated criminal conspiracy and crimes against humanity tied to the 1990s group known as Los 12 Apóstoles, which prosecutors said operated from Hacienda La Carolina.
- The ruling imposes 28 years and three months in prison, a fine of about $2.4 million, a 20‑year ban on holding public office and orders civil indemnification.
- The court denied house arrest and said an arrest warrant will be issued once the decision is final.
- The judgment details Uribe’s role in the 1994 murder of bus driver Camilo Barrientos Durán, including gathering information, directing the selection of the shooter and seeking help from a police officer.
- Defense can pursue an extraordinary appeal before the Supreme Court, and former president Álvaro Uribe said he felt deep sorrow over his brother’s conviction.
