Former President Alvaro Uribe’s accusations of a judicial conspiracy against ex-minister Andres Felipe Arias are not sustained by evidence, said the president of the judiciary’s disciplinary chamber according to El Tiempo.

President of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Judiciary Counsel Henry Villarraga declared that disciplinary jurisdiction cannot act based “on speculation and conjecture,” referring to Uribe’s Wednesday Twitter comments.

Uribe’s tweets cast doubt on the impartiality of Orlando Fierro, the judge who sentenced Arias to prison for the length of his trial.

Arias, who served as minister of agriculture under the Uribe administration, is accused of embezzling as much as $25 million worth of subsides meant for poor farmers.
