(CNN Spanish) - The Investigative Chamber of the Colombian Supreme Court of Justice decided to impose house arrest against the former president and current Senator Álvaro Uribe for the alleged crimes of bribery and procedural fraud, as confirmed by a source from the highest court to CNN. It is for a case that continues against the exmandatario for alleged witness tampering. Uribe has always denied the charges.
"The deprivation of my freedom causes me deep sadness for my lady, for my family and for the Colombians who still believe that I have done something good for the country," Uribe wrote on his Twitter account.
