Colombian judicial and legal developments

Overview

The Colombian judicial system has seen several significant developments involving former combatants and political figures. The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) revoked the conditional liberty of Kendry Téllez Álvarez, a former FARC member known as ‘Yako’. This decision was prompted by his failure to comply with restorative justice requirements, including failing to report his whereabouts. Téllez Álvarez is under investigation by the Attorney General's Office for his alleged role as a logistical coordinator in the June 2025 assassination of Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay.

In other legal matters, former La Guajira governor Jorge Pérez Bernier is expected to be released from La Picota prison following a Constitutional Court decision regarding his rights to due process, though his corruption case remains ongoing. Additionally, Cleiver Jesús Pérez Sánchez has been ordered into prison in Barranquilla. He faces charges of aggravated conspiracy to commit a crime, terrorism, and aggravated possession of explosives related to the placement of a gas cylinder and an ELN flag on a bridge. Prosecutors allege he was forming an urban front for the ELN, while police are investigating whether he is a member of the Los Costeños gang using ELN symbols as a diversion.
