A 15-Year-Old Arrested in Attack on Colombian Presidential Candidate Miguel Uribe. Bogota, Colombia. June 9, 2025. Presidential candidate Miguel Uribe was the victim of an attack earlier this week. Security camera footage obtained by EjeCentral shows the arrest of the 15-year-old suspect. The video has sparked controversy after President Gustavo Petro revealed that Uribe's security detail was reduced from seven to three escorts on the day of the attack. "This is unacceptable," stated a spokesperson for Uribe's campaign. The suspect's capture is a significant development in the ongoing investigation. Uribe's campaign is calling for a full investigation into the security lapse. The 15-year-old suspect is currently in custody.
