Colombia's president's son is arrested for money laundering

Nicolas Petro, the son of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, has been arrested as part of an investigation into money laundering and illicit enrichment, the Attorney General's office said early Saturday.

Petro has called the investigation that began in March not based on evidence.

Also arrested was Nicolas' ex-wife, Daysuris del Carmen Vasquez, who earlier this year told local media that two people accused of involvement in drug trafficking had given Nicolas money for his father's campaign.

Petro said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that it was painful for one of his children to be imprisoned, but the General Prosecutor's Office had all the guarantees to act according to the law./ CNA.al
