"Prosecutors Investigate Allegations of Illicit Funds in Gustavo Petro's Campaign"

Nicolás Petro, the son of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, has admitted to receiving illicit funds that were used for his father's 2022 presidential campaign, according to prosecutors. Nicolás Petro disclosed that he received money from a contractor charged with murder, a former senator convicted of drug trafficking, and a powerful businessman. The revelations could lead to an impeachment investigation or criminal investigation into what the president knew about the campaign money. President Petro denies any connection to the allegations. The arrest of Nicolás Petro comes after leaked audio messages implicated the president's chief of staff and ambassador to Venezuela in possible campaign finance violations.
