The former president had withdrawn from the complaint, filed for libel and slander, considering that the high court did not offer him guarantees to continue with the judicial process.
The Supreme Court of Justice, with a presentation by the magistrate Héctor Javier Alarcón, issued an injunction in favor of the current senator Gustavo Petro, for the alleged crime of fraud in a judicial or administrative resolution of the Police due to the non-existence of the fact, just as he abstained from open an investigation for slander and indirect injury, admitting the withdrawal of the complaint made by former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
On September 27, 2018, the ex-president had filed a complaint for libel and slander against Petro, based on the fact that he had publicly assured, in a radio interview granted on August 24 of that same year, that he was bribing witnesses in criminal proceedings and that, in addition, on his Twitter account, he related it to false positives.

In context: Álvaro Uribe withdrew from the complaint he filed against Gustavo Petro for slander
