Nicolas Petro was arrested on July 29, 2023, on charges of money laundering and illicit enrichment in a scandal linked to his father's election campaign, officials said. In March, in an interview with the magazine Semana, Nicolas Petro's ex-wife Daysuris Vasquez alleged that he had received large amounts of money from drug traffickers and smugglers in 2022 for his father's ultimately successful presidential campaign. Vasquez was also charged with money laundering.
