After the verdict against RAFAEL URIBE NOGUERA was announced in a hearing, the Office of the Attorney General stated that it will appeal the punishment of fifty one years and ten months in prison which was issued by the judge hearing the case (juez de conocimiento).
The Office of the Attorney General´s arguments were grounded on the fact that it disagrees with the punishment. According to the Office of the Attorney General´s calculation, the sentence should be the maximum legal term which is sixty years.
