Prosecutor Accidentally Plays Nude Video in Ex-Colombian President's Court Trial

A Colombian courtroom was left in shock after a prosecutor mistakenly played an explicit clip during the bribery trial of former President Álvaro Uribe.

Uribe, 72, who is facing charges of bribery and procedural fraud, remained stone-faced as the inappropriate video was accidentally projected in court on Friday, March 7.

The prosecutor had intended to present audio recordings of conversations between lawyers Juan Jose Salazar and Diego Cadena, both of whom were part of Uribe’s legal team and are implicated in the case. However, instead of the expected evidence, the courtroom was briefly subjected to a clip featuring a naked woman.

As soon as the inappropriate clips appeared, Orjuela rushed to apologize, acknowledging that they were unintentionally selected from a batch of 57 files.

“Your Honor, my apologies. We wanted to show everything that [Diego Cadena] had sent, but we didn’t foresee that this would happen,” she said with an awkward chuckle.

Despite her efforts to maintain composure, the judge and some of the victims' lawyers burst into laughter as a second inappropriate video played.

Court officials quickly intervened, but the mishap had already caused a stir in the high-profile trial.

The former president, who led Colombia from 2002 to 2010, faces a potential 12-year sentence for bribery and an additional 8 years for procedural fraud if convicted. However, Colombian law allows for sentences to be served concurrently.

Uribe has denied all charges, maintaining that the case against him is politically motivated.
