Colombian President Orders Probe into Drug Trafficking Claims Against Ex-First Lady

President Abelardo de la Espriella has ordered an investigation into allegations that former first lady Verónica Alcocer, ex-wife of Gustavo Petro, used an official plane to transport drugs to Venezuela, as reported by Semana. The claims stem from a former advisor's statements and remain unverified. This marks a significant political and legal development in Colombia, potentially implicating high-level officials and straining relations with Venezuela.
