Víctimas llamarán a Salvatore Mancuso a declarar en proceso contra Álvaro Uribe

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.080
The WU report, Colonel. The
sport colonel has to do with the arrival

2
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:12.199
of Mancuso and the questions that the
victims have for him, Daniel, what

3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:18.199
they will ask him good July.
This is the Colonel report. The chief

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:24.399
for military officer Salvatore Mancuso will be
summoned to testify in the proceedings against former

5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.559
President Alvaro Uribe for bribery of witnesses
and procedural fraud. A few days ago,

6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.079
when a Mancuso was in the United
States, we told them that Gilberto

7
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.119
Villarreal, the new prosecutor delegated to
the Court to ask for the third time

8
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.759
for the closure of the case,
had what seemed like a great idea to

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:49.960
help Uribe. He silently quoted Chief
for military officer Salvatore Mancuso to testify about

10
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.679
his visit to a U S prison. Iván Cepeda Pida Córdoba and Rodrigo lara

11
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.079
for long years and without success.
Former President Uribía' s defense tried to

12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.319
prove that the paramilitary chief was offered
benefits to testify against Uribe, that is,

13
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.280
that it was Ivan Cepeda and not
he who tried to bribe witnesses.

14
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.439
Prosecutor Villarreal had made the appointment to
ask Mancuso the right questions to Uribe,

15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.480
but the lawyers of the victim representation
found out three days earlier and asked to

16
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.599
participate in the investigation. The prosecutor
had no choice but to invite them.

17
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.439
The day of the statement came and
Mancuso excused himself by saying he was ill.

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:41.640
Suddenly, the prosecution after that day
seems to have lost the enthusiasm after

19
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.680
the excuse, Mancuso has not been
quoted again and that it is easier to

20
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.040
get his statement now that he is
in Colombia, who was to be the

21
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.680
beneficiary of his testimony. According to
the plan, he rushed to pluicate a

22
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.040
video warning that Bancuso is lying.
Soon after they all entered United States prisons,

23
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.879
visitors began to arrive. Some of
them were his bitter enemies of the

24
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.759
day before. Several close to the
guerrillas who eagerly offered benefits to give information

25
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:24.080
about my alleged links with paramilitaries.
Mancuso lies to love He met me.

26
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:34.400
We rarely greet each other for my
association with Montería. We had no conversations

27
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:40.520
in the presidential campaign, he refused
to meet with him, as it was

28
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.960
publicly established. Well, and about
that presidential campaign of two thousand two,

29
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.919
there is the testimony of two congressmen
from the time near the paramilitaries, Miguel

30
00:02:53.919 --> 00:03:00.960
de la Estrella and Leonora Pineda,
who claim that Salvatore Mancuso, Carlos Castaño

31
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.879
and, in general, the so- called self- defenses supportedÁlvaro Uribe

32
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.120
' s presidential campaign. Miguel de
las Trilla, condemned for his alliances with

33
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:15.360
the paramilitaries, declared that these criminal
groups even participated in the financing of Uriah

34
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.680
' s presidential campaign. He claimed
that the self- defenses allegedly financed some

35
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.680
expenses, such as the purchase of
fifty zero T- shirts that they ordered

36
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:34.280
from China and Panama of the prieya
I was driving his car to land Alta

37
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.680
Córdoba withÁlvaro Uribe sitting next to
him when he received a call from a

38
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.879
farmer who asked Uribe to meet with
Mancuso. The conversation is remembered in two

39
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:50.159
different ways.Álvaro Uribe says he
flatly rejected the possibility and Miguel de las

40
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.599
Prieya, instead, told Brocomillas told
me that if he met with Mancuso at

41
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.479
that time, then he would not
be President who left that meeting for later

42
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:08.199
Cierro Comillas. Miguel de las Peya
and Leonora Pineda say they spoke toÁlvaro

43
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.280
Uribe about the self- defense support
for his campaign in two thousand twenty-

44
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.959
two in the Ubero estate. He
also says of the Priellas who handed over

45
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.839
to the President- electÁlvaro Uribe
in his hand at the Dan Carton Hotel

46
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.839
in Bogotá, a message from the
paramilitaries in which they offered to start a

47
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.000
peace process with the government. The
story of the friendship of Uribe and Miguel

48
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.240
de las Playas plieya is many years
old and was never interrupted by the judicial

49
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.879
entanglements of Miguel de las Playas.
In two thousand three, already as President

50
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.160
of the Republic, Alvaro Uribe traveled
to Montería to attend the feast of Bautizo

51
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.319
of Miguelito' s son as he
called him, and become godfather of the

52
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.079
man who had invited him to meet
with Mancuso a year ago. You can

53
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.920
see the photo on the LEU page. Four years later, in two thousand

54
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.839
seven, in his second Presidency,
when de las Playas was already investigated by

55
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.399
the parapolitics, Uribe invited him to
Palacio and on a Saturday, about nothing,

56
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.759
decided to publish in a communiqué of
the House of Nariño, a version

57
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.839
according to which Miguelito supported his interpretation
of the invitation that led him to meet

58
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.839
with Mancuso. That' s where
they were very close. However, a

59
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.920
few months after that statement, in
Palacio, in September of two thousand and

60
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:40.439
seven, when Miguel de las Playas
submitted to an early sentence and declared about

61
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.879
Alvar Uribe' s alleged relationship with
the self- defenses, the former president

62
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.639
posted on Twitter in a rather different
tone in which he said I open quotation

63
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:56.759
marks. Ladroncito de las prieya received
him silver roll Mancuso and now he says

64
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:01.519
it was for the campaign closed Comillas. That' s why it' s

65
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.079
interesting. The statement by Salvator and
Mancuso in the proceedings against the former President,

66
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.879
the representation of victims will ask him
to specify five aspects. First,

67
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.720
what was the participation of the paramilitaries
in the presidential campaign ofÁlvaro Uribe in

68
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:25.240
two thousand two. Secondly, what
does Mancuso know about the formation of the

69
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.480
metro block of self- defenses?
It should be remembered that the testimony of

70
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:33.839
Juan Guillermo Monsalve, who allegedly intended
to change is precisely on this subject the

71
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:40.800
metro block. Third, what does
Salvatore Mancuso know about the operation of the

72
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.600
twelve apostles and the so- called
milk block of self- defense. Fourth,

73
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.920
what is the alleged participation or what
was the alleged participation of the then

74
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:58.800
governor of Antioquia, Alvaro Uribe,
in the Aro massacre. Fifthly, what

75
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:04.800
was the reason the paramilitaries allegedly received
from the then governor of Antioqua about the

76
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:13.560
human rights defender, Jesús María Valle, later murdered. These are just five

77
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.399
themes, but Salvatore Mancuso knows more
about how it will be seen in the

78
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.360
coming days. Mancuso' s statement
may give a twist to the process,

79
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.480
because while the case of bribery of
witnesses and procedural fraud has been handled with

80
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:34.759
delays by the prosecutor' s office
to prescribe criminal proceedings, matters that have

81
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.199
to be covered by paramilitary groups,
massacres and murders of a human rights defender

82
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.959
are imprescriptible. It never wins this
was today' s colonel report. Thank

83
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:48.560
you very much.
