Uribe insists he has evidence Santos used drug money to fund election campaign

Uribe insists he has evidence Santos used drug money to fund election campaign
Oct 15, 2014 posted by Craig Corbett

Colombia’s controversy-ridden former President Alvaro Uribe has claimed to have sufficient evidence to prove that current President Juan Manuel Santos used $12 million worth of drug money to fund his 2010 campaign.

According to Radio Santa Fe, the claims were made during Uribe’s testimony to the Prosecutor General in regards to allegations that President Santos used illegal drug money to fund his first presidential campaign.

In a short statement, Uribe said he “confirmed the information provided to the Prosecutor General. The lines of information contain enough information to begin the inquiry into the $ 12 million used by the drug policy advisers of the President of the Republic and into the procedures carried out by the Government.”

Uribe’s attorney had previously admitted the former president did not have evidence.
