BOGOTA - Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe will be sentenced to 12 years for abuse of process and bribery of a public official, local media reported on Friday, hours ahead of the hearing where a judge will read his sentence.
Uribe was convicted of the two charges on Monday by Judge Sandra Liliana Heredia in a witness-tampering case that has run for about 13 years. He has always maintained his innocence.
Heredia may also issue a fine for Uribe and decide if he will remain free, be placed on house arrest or be jailed while he appeals the case.
