Ex-paramilitary Mancuso claims Petro govt sought smear campaign against three politicians

Former paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso and his lawyer allege the Petro administration requested a smear campaign against Germán Vargas Lleras, Álvaro Uribe, and Abelardo de la Espriella, with a meeting in Valledupar involving Angie Rodríguez, a former aide to ex-president Uribe. The claim is unverified and likely politically motivated, but could escalate tensions in Colombia's polarized political landscape.
