Uribes legal troubles in Europe are not over yet
written by Juan Trillos November 30, 2017
European human rights organizations are still waiting for a verdict in the case against Colombia’s former President, Alvaro Uribe, whose administration has been accused of spying in Brussels.
According to the six human rights organizations that sued the former head of state and the DAS in 2010 after evidence emerged indicating that Colombia’s now-defunct intelligence agency spied on them in 2004 and 2005.
The complaint was accepted by a court in Brussels in 2010, after the organisations claimed they were victims of a smear campaign orchestrated by the DAS, which accused them of being FARC associates, Colombian journalist Julian Martinez said.
In his book “Chuzadas: Ocho Años de Espionaje y Barbarie”(Wiretaps: Eight Years of Espionage and Barbarism), Martinez published the story of Belgian lawyer Veronique van der Plancke, who represents the organizations that are also active in Colombia.
