The ruling is a victory for Peace Prize winner President Santos and deals a blow to opposition critics fighting to undo the peace accord.

After more than a half-century of conflict, and in a historic step forward for Colombia's peace process, FARC has disarmed.

Santos campaign manager Roberto Prieto denied the claims, saying that "never have I even shared a coffee" with the man who allegedly took the bribe.

Garcia was involved in awarding a large road project contract while serving under former President Álvaro Uribe.

After a series of fits and stops that threatened to derail a historic year, Colombia may finally be peace.

This time, Santos will send the agreement to Congress for ratification and skip the public vote.

"This agreement — renewed, adjusted, specified, and clarified — must unite us, not divide us," said President Juan Manuel Santos.

"I accept it, not in my own name, but in the name of all Colombians, especially the millions of victims," said President Santos.

"We will go back to the state of war” if the peace deal doesn't pass the popular vote, said Santos during the first day of a World Economic Forum event in Medellín.

“Colombians can be sure that, all united, we are going to continue defending to the last centimeter our territory," said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
