Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe will face questioning by prosecutors on July 24th regarding alleged connections to paramilitary groups. The investigation centers around the 1997 massacres in El Aro and La Granja, Antioquia province. Uribe has publicly claimed this is part of a plot to re-arrest him. He is being investigated for his potential involvement in these atrocities, specifically regarding alleged support for right-wing paramilitary groups active in the region during his time as governor of Antioquia. The investigation follows years of accusations and legal battles concerning Uribe’s past. Details of the alleged plot to re-arrest him have not been disclosed, but he has voiced concerns about political motivations behind the inquiry. La Silla Vacía first reported the scheduled questioning.
