Son of Columbian President Arrested on Money Laundering Charges.

On Saturday, the Columbian attorney general’s office announced that Nicolas Petro, the son of President Gustavo Petro, was arrested on money laundering charges, along with his ex-wife Daysuris Vasquez. According to an article in the New York Times, Petro, a politician in the province of Atlantico in Northern Columbia, was being investigated concerning his links with drug traffickers. Also, The Times states that Gustavo Petro’s brother was arrested on similar money laundering charges in January of this year. According to another article in The Washington Post, Ms. Vasquez claims that funds that were supposed to be directed towards President Petro’s campaign ended up in the pocket of Nicolas Petro. The dinnertime conversation in the Petro household recently must have been awkward.
