Colombia court overturns former president Uribe’s witness tampering conviction

A Colombian court on Tuesday overturned the witness-tampering conviction of former president Álvaro Uribe, scrapping a 12-year house arrest sentence that had drawn US criticism. Uribe, 73, was convicted in August of pressuring paramilitaries to deny links to him, marking the first criminal conviction of a Colombian ex-president.
