The widow and son of the drug lord are accused of money laundering

The widow and son of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar are accused by the Arginian authorities of links to an organization that launders money.

The Latin American country judiciary in 2000 closed an investigation into money laundering claims due to insufficient evidence.

But according to Argentina Security Minister Patricia Bulrich, the government will reopen the investigation at the request of the Financial Information Unit, an anti-money laundering supervisory agency.

According to them, the family of the notorious drug lord has suspicious links with Colombian drug dealer Jose Peeddrahita.

Escobar's wife and son Victoria and Juan Pablo moved to Argentina and received new identities after the death of the drug lord in 1993.

Both claim that they have not inherited any of the billions of dollars earned by Escobar-led cartel.

The family has even published books, as well as a line of clothing inspired by the infamous leader of the Medwell cartel.
