U.S. prosecutors are investigating Colombian President Gustavo Petro over alleged cartel ties, including campaign funding and prison bribery, though he denies all claims and no charges have been filed.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro is under investigation by U.S. federal prosecutors in New York, who are examining alleged ties to drug traffickers, including claims of campaign funding from cartels, use of law enforcement to smuggle drugs, and bribery schemes at a Colombian prison.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has designated Petro a "priority target," based on confidential informant tips since 2022, with probes involving major cartels like Mexico’s Sinaloa and Colombia’s Cartel of the Suns.
Petro has denied all allegations, calling them politically motivated and baseless, while the Colombian Embassy in Washington dismissed the reports as unverified.
No charges have been filed, and the investigation remains ongoing.
