Colombia investigation seeks answers in Miguel Uribe Turbay assassination
The investigation into the assassination of former senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay is facing renewed pressure for transparency. The Ministry of Justice has formally requested that Prosecutor General Luz Adriana Camargo investigate new evidence provided by Uribe Turbay’s widow, María Claudia Tarazona.
Tarazona has submitted messages, emails, photographs, and other elements intended to help reconstruct the communications, payments, and contacts between the alleged perpetrators. The goal is to move beyond the capture of low-level executors to identify the masterminds, financiers, and connections behind the crime.
Authorities have noted that the attack may have been intended to destabilize Colombia ahead of the 2026 presidential elections. The new evidence includes references to members of the Segunda Marquetalia, raising questions about the broader scope of the conspiracy.
