Even if Uribe was...errrrr....pure as the driven snow this report is certainly unhelpful to him.

The accused and her daughter are somewhat close in age--mom was apparently a teen bride:

The 48-year-old Dolly Cifuentes was the wife of Uribe's younger brother, Jaime Alberto Uribe, who died of throat cancer in 2001. The 31-year-old Ana Maria Uribe is the daughter of Cifuentes and the former President's brother.

What is El Former Presidente up to, these days, I wonder?
