Following a critical column about the business of Alvaro Uribe’s son Tomas, Colombia’s former President on Sunday accused a journalist of receiving money from a drug trafficker.
Uribe responded to a column published by Daniel Coronell wherein the journalist wrote about the Uribe’s son Tomas’ alleged mediation in Panama with a company that is under investigation for bribing Colombian officials to be granted public works. This accusation was made earlier by Miami newspaper El Nuevo Herald.
Coronell’s article led to numerous Tweets by Uribe and his sons Tomas and Jeronimo, who accused the journalist of having ties to Pastor Perafan, a drug trafficker who is currently in jail in the United States.
