President's son arrested! Does Colombia Have Its Own “Hunter Biden” Problem?

Like Colombia’s own “Hunter Biden” saga, President Gustavo Petro’s son Nicolás has been arrested after his scorned ex-wife accused him of taking over $100,000 USD from a narcotrafficker for his father’s political campaign—and then spending the cash on himself! Justice served…or political witch-hunt?

Notes:

• Hoosegow, American slang, comes from Spanish “Juzgado” meaning “having been judged.”
• Nicolás Petro was unfaithful to Day Vásquez with her friend, the actress Laura Ojeda. Petro and Ojeda are now expecting a son together.
• Day was apparently involved with Juan Manuel Cortés, congressman from Santander.
• Yes, the word is “forgiven,” not “forgived!” Not worth doing the whole thing over…FORGIVE me!
