Release of Uribe’s ex-lawyer rejected in Colombia

Bogotá, Oct 14 (Prensa Latina) Alternative Democratic Pole Senator Iván Cepeda affirmed today that he will appeal the decision of the Colombian justice system to release Diego Cadena, ex-lawyer of former President Álvaro Uribe.

Cadena, accused of bribery, procedural fraud and witness tampering, was released yesterday because the terms of the indictment were considered expired.

Cepeda emphasized that such decision of a judge does not obey in any way to a judicial acquittal and he will be held accountable.

For our part, we abide by the decision and we hope that Cadena will not go on the run, as has happened on other occasions with people close to former president Uribe, said the congressman.
