Colombian President's Son Arrested in Money Laundering Probe

Nicolas Petro, the son of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, has been arrested in connection with a money laundering and illicit enrichment investigation. His ex-wife, Daysuris del Carmen Vasquez, was also arrested on similar charges. Nicolas Petro, a politician in Atlantico province, had previously denied accusations of taking money from drug traffickers for his father's peace efforts. President Petro expressed his support for the legal process and stated that he would not intervene or pressure the attorney general's decisions. The arrests come as the president seeks to make peace deals with rebels and crime gangs to end Colombia's long-standing internal conflict.
