Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe has been sentenced to 12 years under house arrest, becoming the first Colombian leader to be jailed for such offenses. The decision was made after a virtual hearing and includes a ban on holding public office for eight years and a fine of about 837,000 dollars. Uribe contests the verdict as political and influenced by the leftist government. The conviction is a historic moment for Colombian justice.
