Colombia court upholds 28-year sentence in Piedad Córdoba kidnapping case

Medellín's Superior Court confirmed a 28-year prison sentence for a former DAS subdirector, finding evidence linking him to paramilitary leader Carlos Castaño in the 2008 kidnapping of politician Piedad Córdoba. The ruling solidifies accountability for state-paramilitary collusion in a high-profile case, though the defendant may still appeal.
