Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, who governed the country between 2002 and 2010, was sentenced on Monday night for the crimes of bribery of witnesses during a criminal proceeding and procedural fraud. He thus becomes the first former president of the country to be criminally convicted for a crime that could result in a prison sentence of between four and eight years. We will have to wait until Friday, August 1, to find out the specific sentence applied to him.
