💨 Abstract

The Superior Court of Bogotá rejected a request by former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe's defense to provisionally suspend his house arrest, a sentence he is appealing for alleged witness tampering and fraud. Uribe, 73, was sentenced to 12 years of house arrest, a fine, and an eight-year ban from public office. The court's decision does not prevent further evaluation of Uribe's request for immediate freedom, citing procedural rights.
