The former president of the Supreme Court of Justice, José Luis Barceló, was summoned by the Chamber’s Indictment Commission to render a free version of an investigation against him for alleged illegal interceptions of former President Álvaro Uribe by the high court.

According to a source from the Accusation Commission told this newspaper, this implies that the former magistrate will be heard by the investigating representatives Edward Rodríguez and Mauricio Toro and it also implies that Barceló was “linked” to the investigation.
“Finally, it is ordered to receive a free version of Judge Barceló Camacho, so that he can actively participate in the practice of all the tests that have to be carried out in the future, fully guaranteeing his right to contradiction and avoiding any injury that may occur to his right of defense due to a late connection ”, indicates the order of the Indictment Commission, known by this newspaper.

According to the document, “the aforementioned diligence will be set for next year 2021.”
This process dates back to 2018, when the Supreme Court of Justice assures that it ended up listening by mistake to Uribe’s conversations due to a telephone mix-up that, as Barceló insisted at the time, is not attributable to the magistrates but to the CTI investigators who they support the processes carried out by the Criminal Chamber.
The supposed error would have occurred when the high court had intercepted the representative Nilton Córdoba but “by mistake” the number of former President Uribe was intercepted.
The complaint that gave rise to this call to render a free version was filed in September 2018 by the representative of the Ricardo Ferro Democratic Center.
The congressman’s argument is that “he cannot ignore”, that “The highest court of justice in the country says that there was an error. An event of this nature undermines the confidence of the Colombian people in justice.”
“The Court does not intervene illegally; If you do, you do it legally, as the law says. Now it is said that there is a complaint against us; We will present our arguments and the Commission will carry out the respective investigation ”, said José Luis Barceló at that time after hearing the complaint against him.
