Additional senior officials in President Petro’s administration face political investigation

Colombia’s prosecutor’s office has opened new inquiries into senior officials linked to President Gustavo Petro. The investigations focus on alleged involvement in partisan political activities. Several high‑ranking members of Petro’s team are now under formal scrutiny. Authorities cite evidence of coordination between government actions and campaign efforts. The probe follows earlier cases involving other Petro allies. Critics argue the investigations could undermine the administration’s reform agenda. Petro’s spokesperson has called the moves “politically motivated.” The legal process is expected to continue as prosecutors gather further testimony.
