Former President Alvaro Uribe was the “head of Colombia’s paramilitary groups,” a former paramilitary commander told Venezuelan network TeleSur and witness in the case against a presidential candidate loyal to the former head of state.
The accusations were made by Pablo Hernan Sierra, alias “Alberto Guerrero”, former commander of the Cacique Pipinta bloc of the paramilitary group AUC, during an interview.
“He was our commander,” claimed Sierra. “He never fired a gun; but he led, he contributed, he was our man at the top.”
“The massacres, the disappearances, the creation of an [AUC] group: he is responsible,” said Sierra.
The ex-paramilitary is a key witness in an investigation into Uribe’s alleged ties with paramilitary groups, especially his role in the formation of an AUC bloc while governor of Antioquia department from 1995-97, and his use of the AUC to win votes in the 2002 Presidential election.
