Judge concludes that Colombia's ex-President Uribe committed crimes of procedural fraud and bribery
Judge Sandra Heredia of Bogotá's 44th Criminal Court is still reading the ruling.
Uribe has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He maintained that position throughout the 67-day trial, during which he clashed with Senator Iván Cepeda, of the ruling Pacto Histórico party.
In 2012, Uribe had accused Cepeda of trying to link him to the creation of a paramilitary group — a charge Cepeda rejected — but the Colombian Supreme Court ruled that Uribe should be investigated for alleged witness tampering.

Keanu Reeves' Stolen Watches, Valued At $125,000, Recovered In Santiago
A valuable – monetarily and sentimentally – stash of as many as six stolen watches belonging to actor Keanu Reeves has been recovered by Chilean authorities in Santiago and turned over to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI will arrange for their return to the John Wick actor. Reeves reportedly has identified the watches as his. More from Deadline 'Good Fortune' Trailer: Aziz Ansari Comedy With Keanu Reeves & Seth Rogen Headed For TIFF Keanu Reeves' Band Dogstar To Play L.A. Concert Next Week Where To Watch All The 'John Wick' Movies: Streamers That Have All Four Films The watches, including a $9,000 Rolex, were stolen from Reeves' Hollywood Hills home in December 2023. The burglars, who disabled the home's alarm system before climbing through a window, are thought to be responsible for a string of high-profile thefts in the area and more than one at Reeves' home. According to Chilean police, the watches were among a stash of stolen loot recovered recently in a series of raids on a Santiago crime ring. The FBI assisted in the operation. A 21-year-old man has been arrested in Chile for the theft. The $125,000 value of the watches was confirmed by Marcelo Varas of Chile's robbery investigation squad. At the time of the theft, Reeves said he particularly lamented the theft of the Rolex Submariner watch that was one of five engraved with 'JW4' – the other four were gifted to his stuntmen on John Wick: Chapter 4 as a wrap gift. The announcement of the recovered watches was made as Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, arrived in Chile to speak with law enforcement officials about transnational crime.
