The court said in a statement that Uribe will be detained at home “and from there can mount his defense with all the guarantees of due process.” Uribe, 68, must now wait to be eventually called for a trial before the Supreme Court, the body that judges lawmakers. His successor, Juan Manuel Santos , reached a peace deal with the FARC in 2016 — a deal that Uribe and Duque have heavily criticized.
