He faced up to 12 years in prison after being convicted Monday.<\/p>\n<p>His attorney had asked the court to allow Uribe to remain free while he appeals the verdict. Judge Sandra Heredia on Friday said she did not grant the defense&#8217;s request because it would be &#8220;easy&#8221; for the former president to leave the country to &#8220;evade the imposed sanction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heredia also banned Uribe from holding public office for eight years and fined him about $776,000.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Friday&#8217;s sentencing, Uribe <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlvaroUribeVel\/status\/1951398434268680259\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posted on X <\/a>that he was preparing arguments to support his appeal. He added that one must &#8220;think much more about the solution than the problem&#8221; during personal crises.<\/p>\n<p>The appeals court will have until early October to issue a ruling, which either party could then challenge before Colombia&#8217;s Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>The former president governed from 2002 to 2010 with strong support from the United States. He is a polarizing figure in Colombia, where many credit him for saving the country from becoming a failed state, while others associate him with human rights violations and the rise of paramilitary groups in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Heredia on Monday said she had seen enough evidence to determine that Uribe conspired with a lawyer to coax three former paramilitary group members, who were in prison, into changing testimony they had provided to Ivan Cepeda, a leftist senator who had launched an investigation into Uribe&#8217;s alleged ties to a paramilitary group.<\/p>\n<p>Uribe in 2012 filed a libel suit against Cepeda in the Supreme Court. But in a twist, the high court in 2018 dismissed the accusations against Cepeda and began investigating Uribe.<\/p>\n<p>Martha Pe\u00f1uela Rosales, a supporter of Uribe&#8217;s party in the capital, Bogota, said she wept and prayed after hearing of the sentence. &#8220;It&#8217;s an unjust sentence. He deserves to be free,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sergio Andr\u00e9s Parra, who protested against Uribe outside the courthouse, said the 12-year sentence &#8220;is enough&#8221; and, even if the former president appeals, &#8220;history has already condemned him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During Uribe&#8217;s presidency, Colombia&#8217;s military attained some of its biggest battlefield victories against Latin America&#8217;s oldest leftist insurgency, pushing the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia into remote pockets and forcing the group&#8217;s leadership into peace talks that led to
