The former attorney general of the nation Eduardo Montealegre, requested that copies be certified against President Iván Duque, for alleged interference in the process against former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
During the appeal of the 30th judge’s decision that ordered the release of former President Uribe, former prosecutor Montealegre, He said that he had some videos that he wanted to present at the hearing, and that supposedly demonstrated that interference.
Judge 30 did not allow him to present the videos, considering that they had nothing to do with the decision that his office had adopted and that it must be reviewed by the hierarchical superior by appeal of the victims.
