Santiago Uribe, previously convicted for his role in the formation of the “Los 12 Apóstoles” paramilitary group, is now seeking review from the Constitutional Court in Colombia. This action follows a recent denial by the Supreme Court of a tutela – a legal mechanism used to protect constitutional rights – that Uribe had filed in an attempt to overturn his conviction. Uribe had hoped the Supreme Court would invalidate his sentence related to the formation of Los 12 Apóstoles. The case centers on allegations of Uribe’s connections to the illegal paramilitary group. This appeal represents a continued legal battle for Uribe, who maintains his innocence. La Silla Vacía first reported on Uribe’s pursuit of this appeal. The Constitutional Court will now determine whether to hear his case and potentially review the Supreme Court's decision.
