Colombian President's Son Arrested in Money Laundering Inquiry

TL;DR Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro's son, Nicolas Petro, has been arrested on charges of money laundering and illicit enrichment. The arrest comes as part of a high-profile probe into funds allegedly collected during last year's election campaign. President Petro has denied receiving money from cocaine groups and has pledged to make peace or surrender deals with rebels and crime gangs to end Colombia's 60-year internal conflict. The arrest of his son is a major blow to the government, which has been struggling to maintain bipartisan support and faced conservative attacks.
