Images of police officers outside of Colombian ex‑president Alvaro Uribe's house, in the Llanogrande area near Medellín. Uribe attended his hearing virtually from home. A Colombian judge sentenced the still‑powerful former president to 12 years of house arrest, capping a long and contentious career that defined Colombian politics for a generation. Uribe, 73, received the maximum possible sentence after being found guilty of witness tampering.
