Overview
- Colombia’s financial intelligence unit UIAF distributed the president’s transactions from 2022 to mid‑2025 after he ordered his banking secrecy lifted.
- The records show mortgage payments, travel and retail expenses, purchases at brands such as Gucci and Ralph Lauren, and a charge recorded at a Lisbon strip club.
- The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC recently listed Petro, the first lady and his son over alleged links to narcotrafficking.
- UIAF stated in October it had no suspicious-activity reports tying Petro or his family to narcotrafficking, and media reports say the disclosed accounts show no flagged movements.
- Experts say the publication targets domestic transparency rather than shifting U.S. policy, as campaign‑finance inquiries continue and Nicolás Petro faces trial for alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering.
