Polo senator Iván Cepeda, who is a victim in the process against former president Álvaro Uribe, spoke out against the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice, which indicates that the former president’s process will continue to be governed by law 906 of 2004, that is to say, by the new accusatory penal system.
This implies that the decision on the freedom or not of the former president will have to be made by the judge 30 of control guarantees, who is the judicial official who is currently leading the process.
Thus, the decision of the high court was given in the sense of what Uribe’s defense, the Attorney General’s Office and the judge herself considered, who said that the accusatory system was the one that should govern the case.

Faced with this decision, Senator Cepeda assured that “I respect and abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice (…) We are ready for that new chapter.”
Cepeda clarified that the decision of the Supreme Court “does not mean the nullity of what has been done so far, the accused he still does not have freedom and obviously the competent judge will decide on this matter. “
But in addition, the Plenary Chamber of the Court did not rule on what is the procedural stage in which this case remains. For many jurists, the fact that you follow the 906 law implies that you must start from zero, which would lead to the collapse of everything that had acted in this case the Examining Room. For others, on the other hand, even in Law 906, what has already been done by the Court can be finalized, so that the Prosecutor’s Office can now decide whether to accuse Uribe and call him to trial.
As the Court did not say anything in its ruling on the procedural stage, sources from the high court explained that establishing what stage the case against Uribe is at now will correspond to the judge 30 of control of guarantees.
