Colombian Justice Minister denies ties between De la Espriella and alleged drug lord

Colombia's Justice Minister Iván Cancino denied any proximity between former official De la Espriella and an alleged drug lord wanted by the U.S., explaining a photo was taken at a public event with over 300 attendees. The denial follows a report by La Silla Vacía, but the veracity of the alleged relationship remains unverified. This matters as it touches on political integrity and potential U.S. relations, though it is a domestic political controversy with limited immediate market impact.
